Is AW.net down?
« Reply #30 on: January 15, 2012, 01:24:26 PM »
I have not been able to get AmigaWorld.net to show up on any browser for the last 6 to 8 hours.  All I get is "waiting for" message at the bottom of Firefox and AW.net never loads.

Anyone else been able to get in there, or has the hacker that has been messing with Amiga sites been successful in taking it down completely?:angry:

But not anymore.

It responds to pings and can be tracerouted to without any problem. Seems like apache might be stopped.

Hmm port 80 connects, but nothing happens after that. Perhaps squid or some other reverse proxy in the front is up but the apache on the background is down.

I don't think they are using squid or any sort of front-end cache, unless it's for static site assets only.

Not at this time. It's been at least 18 hours, possibly longer, since I last saw it up and running. Hopefully one of their staff can fill us in on what is going on.

Not much yet.
About 5 days ago irc lost services.
Then came the account hacking.
Yesterday there were mixed results from attempting to use the site.
(1)slow (2)blank front page (3)error messages in browsers like "failure to connect"

I should add that as a result of the lost services, if you use AW irc, you should connect through de.amigaworld.net or se2.amigaworld.net which basically uses .de.
Polarboing is still dead. (services)

If I recall clearly, it's a dedicated server. It still pings promptly enough which suggests at least it isn't being DDoS'ed. Again, port 80 can be connected to, but it seems there's nothing listening on it.

Aside from hacking, it could be a broken/misconfigured update, disk failure or a number of other issues. One downside of a dedicated server is that the machine is basically yours to destroy and fix (unless you pay for support). Without any word from the admin, we can't know for sure.

I consider the 3 separate issues listed in my prior post above to be merely coincidental, but we'll see.

It seems the problem has expanded to include DNS resolution; the name no longer resolves here (was fine earlier), but that could be just me.

-edit-

Pinging the address it was resolved to earlier no longer works (100% packet loss) :-/

Not only is AmigaWorld.net down, so is Aros-Exec.org.  I wonder if this has something to do with Xoops since both of those boards run it.

Hmm, aros-exec.org still resolves OK but it seems there's nobody at home there, either (no ping response, port 80 closed).
