forge.joomla.org not working Topic is solved

[rstevens]

Tried to download an extension from forge.joomla.org last night and today, but am getting no response.

[ot2sen]

Hi rstevens,

The forge software was updated yesterday, which possible is the reason for not getting response.
Seems to be ok today.

[Vimes]

I'm not getting anything from it atm.

[Vimes]

The following error was encountered:

    * Connection Failed

The system returned:

    (111) Connection refused

[brad]

I'll contact VA again... sorry about this everyone.

@ 3:21 PM PST Jan 23 2007

The connection has timed out
The server at forge.joomla.org is taking too long to respond.

Finally, I got this message:

News
Joomla! is not available

forge.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

But, I don't see anything in this forum. Any idea what's wrong?

[haejin]

I too have not been able to connect to Joomlaforge - the page sits and loads, and if I am able to connect then it says the site is down for maintenance.  I've been checking for an hour.

[Jonah]

Argh, the forge supplies such useful services too.  If you need file releases there are usually a few of us who put up mirrors in times like this.  Be sure to verify against the officially posted files hashes: http://www.joomla.org/content/view/2496/95/

[maddunr]

nice service there lamad.. however, I wasn't able to find the plugin I was looking for - JCE Utilities Mambot 1.1.5.

I guess I'll have to wait for the forge to come back up.

[TammyCS]

5:40pm here and it's still down.  Really need to grab a few things from here.  (JoomlaFCK).  Hopefully this will be up soon! 

[vreemt]

for some reason it did allow me to download opensef about 10minutes ago. still says it's down, but it might be an idea to try the links to the component(s) anyway (occassional refresh never hurts). hope it's available soon, good luck to all

[Jonah]

It looked completely back up again last night, but now checking this morning it's down again.  Looks like YMMV this week....

[IdeasUnknown]

It appears that forge.joomla.org and developer.joomla.org's NS records are missing at this point.

[snis]

"Down" since yesterday again!

I've been trying to reach the forge since yesterday, but without luck, I get timeouts. The same goes for developer.joomla.org

Look at the following timestamps in wget:

Code: Select all

3 minutes and 20 seconds to get the robots.txt!!! 

However there is no timeouts when pinging the server (average round trip time 202 ms, but that seems to be savvis.net's fault 21 jumps from me to the server wooha)

So the server itself doesn't seem to have any problem, but the service (apache?) have some serious issues!

[Jonah]

It appears that forge.joomla.org and developer.joomla.org's NS records are missing at this point.

None of the joomla.org sub domains (3rd level domains) have their own zones from what I can see.  That is why they do not have their own NS records.  They do have A records specified in joomla.org's zone which is completely sufficient and common.  Notice that forum.joomla.org works fine.

All the problems experienced so far point to application issues.  Notice snis' traceroute, obviously the network to the box and the network stack on the box are working fine.  however, his wget shows the web server is chocking.  further, i've noticed that web and svn will be down/slow at different times.

[rasgar]

This is crap. I have been trying to download files from the forge for 2 days.  WTH is UP!!!!

[Jonah]

Really?  It's been working for me, and it is working right now.

[scorpio2001de]

Really? 

Really.

It's been working for me, and it is working right now.

Not for me. Since days.

[Daniel Tulp]

I'm trying to connect to my svn repository but to no avail, I wanted to do some coding, but I don't I will be able to now, please fix this, this is not good for 3rd party development, I'm really frustrated right now

what happens:
load times of just surfing the forge are tremendous
lots of time outs
can't connect to the svn (connection failed)

[regina]

This is very frustrating.  It will not connect. Says Page cannot be displayed after about 5 minutes. Anyone know what is gong on?

[plexus]

this problem has still not been rectified, and it's now the 8th.

7 days after the last post.

absolutely pathetic.. i have NOT been able to download from forge for days now.

GET IT RIGHT FFS.

[Troll]

Not working for me either 

Can ping forge.joomla.org, but does nothing when I try to connect.
Just the spinning circle in FireFox for ten minutes now.

How about setting up some mirrors of the forge etc. in Europe or other parts of the world so we all can get a "fair" chance of connections.

Here is traceroute from me:

Very odd. I know the forge has been working since friday as the joomla weekly news has been downloaded 400+ times in that period from the forge link in my signature

[maddunr]

Brian,

FYI - I just clicked on the forge link on your signature and could not get through. Very curious to know about it

But, the problem with forge continues 

- V

[brian]

Seems to be working now although its very very slow today

[jcolley]

cant download been trying for a few hours now in MD

[Jonah]

*lamad starts shooting the net gremlins off the servers.

[gws]

Well good luck lamad, easier to swim through treacle than connect to the forge at the mo.
