I'm also experiencing downtime, but nobody with an explanation?

kenmcd · Post by **kenmcd** » Thu Dec 08, 2005 10:37 am

Been down for at least 1 1/2 to 2 hours now.

Let's hope it is an upgrade in progress.

TheSaint · Post by **TheSaint** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 8:51 am

Down on this end as well. I have the 1.0.4 tar file if anyone needs it with a few other mods. Hopefully we shouldn't have long to wait.

Looks like someone was kind enough to put up a notice page:

Joomla! is not available

developer.joomla.org is currently down for maintenance.
For extended maintenance periods, status will be posted to the Joomla forum at:
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/board,152.0.html

I dont mind the forge being down for a while. I DO mind not being able to download the basic things such as Joomla. 1.0.4 ?!? and the upgrades. When the forge is going down, put a mirror on a different location for these importent files!

I should not have to go to a external website to get the latest Joomla! version.
But thats just my 2 ct.

TheSaint · Post by **TheSaint** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 9:26 pm

I always keep an the tar file to the latest Joomla version on my hardrive. If anyone ever needs it uploaded should the Forge be down, I'd be more than happy to help.

I had opened a ticket on this and this is the last comment from them:

"I found the issue. Our monitoring tool is setup such that when it detects certain kinds of small issues, it attempts to correct them. It seems that the latest change to the tool inadvertantly reversed a check and the tool was trying to 'fix' a problem that didn't exist. When the
tool goes to fix things, it creates a special file on the filesytem that causes the 'site is down for maintenance' to appear. I've corrected the monitoring tool...I'm terribly sorry about that."

So, please let me know if the problem still exists and i will re-open the ticket.

Cheers.

I'm getting that message now (for the first time). Have been like this since I first checked 15 minutes ago

Down again .... :'( >:(

Regenerate · Post by **Regenerate** » Tue Dec 20, 2005 7:28 pm

and up again...

hornos · Post by **hornos** » Tue Dec 20, 2005 7:30 pm

Arghhh !!
Can you believe that, sometimes I really miss $amboforge, it is so fast and reliable. Maybe less crowded I must admit

But please DO something !!!

TheSaint · Post by **TheSaint** » Tue Dec 20, 2005 9:30 pm

It seems to be working again?

phreak_02 · Post by **phreak_02** » Wed Dec 21, 2005 8:54 am

I go along with MarkV.

I don't want to get registered somewhere to download core-files.
Needing an additional (coming close to 130 passes) Username & Password
"whaa ?!?!" scares me. $:-\$

A mirror would be fine.

I've mirrored the most recent core files on my personal site just in case the forge goes down again:

http://www.saintlink.com/downloads/joomla/

Help yourself to whatever files you need.

I'm not sure I follow you here? 130 passes at what?

rhuk: I'm guessing he meant 130 useraccounts, on "various internet sites". Loads to keep track of, you know.
(btw rhuk: a joomla christmas wish: that you start redesigning the forge to be as nice and useful as your other work (this site in particular)

)

Post by **rhuk** » Wed Dec 21, 2005 5:15 pm

unfortunatley as has been outlined in other threads, the forge is very unskinable.

When is developer.joomla supposed to be up again?

Post by **Tonie** » Wed Dec 28, 2005 11:55 am

It's up now

hornos · Post by **hornos** » Wed Dec 28, 2005 12:12 pm

It's up, it's down...
when it's up, it's slow
when it's down, it sucks >:(

Down today - 2006.01.05 - 15:47 (GMT +1) since 2 hours.

It's back (huzzah)!

I finally managed to grab 1.0.5, but without the aid of my trusty Free Download Manager. The only file it could grab was "forbidden.html." Downloading normally through Firefox worked fine, though.

CubaLibre · Post by **CubaLibre** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 5:27 pm

It's down again.
And it's so damn slow that I even had to wait several minutes for this message to appear...

Edit: It's responding now, but there is an error message below the banner:

[Exception in:/sfmain/jsp/site_news_tile.jsp] An unexpected system error has occurred

Edit 2: And down again

We are currently upgrading the forge to version 4.3 of SFEE.

It would be useful to have a downtime schedule, where one could find the reason and expected duration of the downtime. In case of an unexpected downtime, there should be at least some kind of confirmation that somebody (of yous guys

) is aware that the server is down.

Also it would be useful to have some kind of message popping up when the forge is going down. Now, I was working on my Wiki page and the save button didn't work and my work was lost (kinda, I was able to go 'back' and copy it onto my clipboard).

The forge page shows:

For extended maintenance periods, status will be posted to the Joomla forum at:
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/board,152.0.html

Seeing is believing....

Other than that, keep up the good work!
