is maemo.org down?
 

I tried to download something yesterday from it and it gave me an error, now it is not working at all?

Re: is maemo.org down?
 

It's been down for almost five hours now.

Re: is maemo.org down?
 

Yup, down for me too. Maemo.org has a long history of not exactly being a super stable site. Scarcely a day goes by when I will be browsing and wham, hit some database puke error message. They really need to hire some better web administrators. One would hope in this day and age that a $150 billion dollar multinational company could keep the lights on...

Maby the site is hosted on a 770 running OS2005 :)

rofl.
A: Down for a massive upgrade?
B: Down for system failure?

Remember: A server is like a good spouse. Goes down on you when you need it most.

Re: is maemo.org down?
 

Just for fun looked them up on netcraft. Interesting to note that the site has been in existence since 2000.

Re: is maemo.org down?
 

Excuse A is no excuse at all. There are plenty of ways to upgrade a site without any downtime. An full time web admin who lets this happen is either not doing his/her job, is inept or is under severe resource constraints. I stand by my statement that Maemo.org is very poorly administered.

Rocketman,

As tempting as agreeing with you is. Since the IP doesn't respond to pings etc, we might be seeing a case dead ISP (ala 365 Main, or Rackspace)

And Nokia isn't big enough to afford a few BIG-IP boxes and throw some redundant servers in different data-centers? Somehow, I keep getting the feeling that Maemo.org is running on a Dell desktop sitting under Quim Gil's desk.

Re: is maemo.org down?
 

It could be, that they went to the corporate web site guys originally, and the corporate guys wouldn't give them what they wanted, so they did it themselves. There are plenty of places with well trained, reliable and friendly web site staff, who are completely unwilling to setup what you actually need/want.

Re: is maemo.org down?
 

well it's all moot ... they are up, at least for me.

Re: is maemo.org down?
 

maemo.org is working now for me too but http://garage.maemo.org/ is still not working for me.

Re: is maemo.org down?
 

Still no maemo.org for me in the UK on Zen ISP... (Saturday 12:48 GMT)

Redundancy is needed if this was an unexpected outage, and better management is needed if this was planned maintenance (prior notice would have been nice).

Re: is maemo.org down?
 

I don't know what caused the last outage, but several previous problems had origins outside of maemo.org's control: they were upstream (in other words: Near or at their ISP). So it's not a question of investing in more iron (which I think they already did a while ago), they may instead need to look for alternative internet providers.

Re: is maemo.org down?
 

no wonder this site is always down, it is located in FINLAND

Re: is maemo.org down?
 

It shouldn't be outside their control, they should be hosted in multiple datacenters around the world.

Re: is maemo.org down?
 

Sure, but they're not actually Google-sized yet.. it's understandable that the site was established in just one place to start with. After all, that's how most sites, including commercial ones, are set up. At work we only have a single site, for example, and we've had network interruptions maybe three or four times over the last ten years. The maemo.org ISP sounds flaky.

Hey it's late Saturday evening in Finland everybody's getting drunk ;). Sorry you need to wait till Monday.

Re: is maemo.org down?
 

site is back up :)
no major change... :(

Re: is maemo.org down?
 

Isn't it run by Nokia?

I would think they could spend a few grand or so and toss some computers into their existing datacenters for maemo, I'd guess it's just not a priority.

Re: is maemo.org down?
 

maemo.org is not working for me. Garage is working for me. They seem to be taking turns...

Re: is maemo.org down?
 

It seems to be sporatically up and down/slowwww. I got to the main page, but everything else just times out.
