computer geeks HELP!

Hi all. There is a ufo/paranormal chat forum, (The Paracast) that I was often in, for a very long time, up until this morning. I checked all my internet email accounts, and have recieved no letter telling me I was banned, no message at all in fact. But now, whenever I try to click onto 'forums' or 'contact us' or go through google, or go through an old link to them which I registered,..............I get this right here:
Warning: include(/home/theparac/public_html/forum/includes/config.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/theparac/public_html/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 3201

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/home/theparac/public_html/forum/includes/config.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/theparac/public_html/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 3201


Configuration: includes/config.php does not exist. Please fill out the data in config.php.new and rename it to config.php


But their home page..........comes up for me, and broadcast podcast. Whats going on? Anyone know?

More than likely a glitch in the site code. They may be working on something.

Have you tried using a different browser or a different computer?

Have you tried getting in touch with the site admin?

Yes sounds like a problem on their side. Almost 100% sure on this.

Thanks guys. Those were --lightning fast-- responses! No I have not tried a different computer. I guess I'll wait awhile and try much later. Would be a bummer if I cannot get back in from my home computer.

I tried contacting Admin thru their site. I don't know their email adresses.

I can confirm on my end that the site is just experiencing an outage. I went to the Paracast page and clicked a link and got exactly what you described above. This is 100% on their end - so just wait for it to be sorted out.

Or, if you want to reach out and ask what's happening, you can try this information from their WHOIS records:

It's right on the page:

Good call, Ub33r... I didn't see that.

Again to the OP, this is 100% on their end. Just sit tight until they get everything back up.


UPDATE: Their page now appears to be partially functional again.
