Post by: Bodie on February 26, 2003, 11:55:08 AM

Thanks

No, it's not just you......it's been down about 12 hours or so now.
I wonder if something interesting is going on......

Well HMetal was hinting at changes in the os.amiga.com forums to amiga.com.  Then again it could be nothing   :-) .

Team..

Actually the DNS entry is fine... I am able to "trace route" the address fine...

It is "rumored" that Amiga.org and Amiga.com share some comms (perhaps even the same host). So I do not think that there is a comms problem.

If I had to guess, I would think that they are having a "make over"

Regards
Darren

It's not just down, it has no DNS entry either.


 ping www.amiga.com
PING www.amiga.com (209.15.183.102): 56 octets data
64 octets from 209.15.183.102: icmp_seq=0 ttl=244 time=434.3 ms
64 octets from 209.15.183.102: icmp_seq=1 ttl=244 time=471.1 ms
64 octets from 209.15.183.102: icmp_seq=2 ttl=244 time=435.2 ms
...

Similar on os.amiga.com, amigadev.net.

Does not look like a DNS problem. Only Apache seems to be down, ftp is still functioning (ftp.amiga.com, ftp.amigadev.net). Which could mean a upcoming website change, which OTOH does not result in 12 hour downtimes normally.

So most probably its just a web server prob or someone from outside shoot the httpd down. :(

Ciao, Alex

Amiga Inc have just filed for chapter 11  :-P .

Hmm, my browser said "Error: No DNS entry". But then, I was using IE at Uni (*shudder*, but I've no choice) and it always go to MSN if an URL fails. MSN lies. Bah.  :-x

Amiga.org is hosted on Amiga, Inc servers. Note we're still here. Probably just maintenance. We'll be doing some ourselves here soon( see notice on main page) and may be unavailable for awhile.

It's most probably maintenance. Hope some NEW info appears as well when it's back. Or maybe it's just the UFOs :-D

Looks like we'll have to troll ourselves.

Looks like that lawsuit worked.

Or, the sites were re-written in Amos Pro.

Or, the sites are now on A1 G3s with the 1st Articia chip.

Amiga! No matter what, do NOT post this on www.Morphzone.org, keep it a secret.

They're just rebuilding the site using PegasOS. :-D

Post by: samdu on February 26, 2003, 02:59:33 PM
Might I recommend that you try to schedule your down time so that it doesn't coincide with Amiga.com's downtime? Everyone knows the rumors that are going to burn up the net if y'all are both down at the same time. :)

There's even a directory names beta40 :-)
Though I don't have access to it :-(

For inclusion in the OS4 of course ;)

I'm gonna edge my bets towards a big bang. No words, no speculationon, simply a new looking site with ALL the news we need, downloads, pics, movie clips, new partners announced, licenced products... The works.

. . . . . And right at the very bottom of the first page.

This site is best viewed with Netscape v2002222.22222.2.2.2.2b or higher with Shockwave & Jam Doughnut plugins. :-D

No, it won't be a reorganization bankruptcy.

ooops....thought this was a betting pool.

Wrong company mate ;-)

Next you be telling me that MorphOS is built upon some Official Amiga OS sources and ambient is a replacement for workbench :-)

Which reminds me, must go buy Star Wars Episode 2 ;-)

Ow no, this gives some problems.  I am off to Big Linux User Group meeting and sead yestorday at pre-meeting (you have to this if have about 180 people at least each month) that I would bring an copy of "AmigaOS4 Feature Set: Release 1" with me but did print out.  Is there anywhere I can get hold of the PDF from?

:roll: I've never seen so much negativity in my life!

The server was down due to a power interruption of some sort at the co-lo site.  Once restored, the server had a slight hiccup due to a perfect worst case scenario.   I did some work to assure that things come up fine next time there is a power outage.

Doomsayers: sod off.  :-P

Okay, so it's back up, but just couldn't resist one last barb.

That's what you get when your server is running on a bank of car batteries connected to solar panels.  :-D

Actually, we ran out of Energizers and had to put dry cells in for the short term.  But at least now the web server will come back up when the batteries need changing again.  ;-)
