I am experiencing issues too.
But it is mostly unaccessible http. I can always 'ping' forums.gentoo.org, but http connections get reset/timed out.


Yep, same here.

I tried for almost 45 minutes yesterday to post something in this thread, but had to give up. Nine times out of ten I can't connect now.

I was actually surprised the site loaded this morning. That's not a good sign when you start thinking like that.

Friday and Yesterday i had massiv issues using the forums. I had luck loading the main page but nothing else could i open. Ping was ok, but http timed out.

Its really important for us as users of gentoo that this forum is reachable for us!

Today morning it did load really nice and was accessible.

Bye

Right after I posted the last post the forums went AWOL again. It seems to be OK now again.

Timing out. It seems to be working alright at the moment.

How's your cooling?
As I understand it the cooling and other general accommodations are all fairly normal datacenter fare, which should be rather more than adequate for the loads put on the servers.

Are these Intel or AMD boxes?
AMD.
wswartzendruber wrote:
What kind of EMF is in the area? Any powerful RF transmitters?
So far as I am aware there is nothing of note of either sort in close proximity to the datacenter where the servers are located.

Meh, still going on. Just been down again for a few minutes.

Anything we can do to help?
Alas not, though the offer is much appreciated.
avx wrote:
Note downtimes or something like that?
One of the few benefits of this latest batch of problems was getting some of our log handling and notification tools back in order, so we can find downtime with less manual searching; though a gentle prod in #gentoo-forums or post here would not be unwelcome.

The web services on the servers are apparently the only things affected by the problem, whatever it actually is.

Agreed, fully. There is simply no excuse for letting software failures disrupt the site so thoroughly for so long.

The infrastructure team tried an alternative configuration on one of the web servers, which at least so far appears to not suffer from the same problems as the prior configuration.

That is probably due to how things are set up at the moment, one of the front ends is deliberately left with the configuration that has been problematic lately so that we might be able to find out why it has been so problematic, so there will likely be brief periods when traffic is still directed at an effectively down server, they should not last long as the load balancer has been failing over properly lately.

Yes, though so far that does not appear to be part of the problem.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the web servers, not the clients.

Working here, too, so far, but it's sometimes still awfully slow(took >1min to load this reply form).

For some as yet undetermined reason, the server processes stopped handing off requests to the handlers, then, apparently, crashed when the queue overran. This seems especially strange to me given that none of the underlying hardware or software was indicated to have changed as this went from an occasional glitch to a serious problem on through it effectively disabling the site.

You might still be hitting the one configured as both had been, or the still occasionally problematic (Gentoo specific) piwik server, or something else entirely, in short I do not know why but will try to find out and, if possible, correct it.

Boy that's annoying. While it runs pretty smoothly (again) 3/4 of the time, I seem to attract pretty bad luck whenever I'm trying to post something or even login, so I've got to make sure to c&p my reply before trying to send it.

Edit, maybe on a related note, are some mirrors having problems? Answered a few posts today already, where the mirrors don't respond/give 404:

That sounds like a nightmare to track down. Thanks for doing it.

Problems again? Had 'critical db'-error and 503s for the last ~1 hour. Additionally, planet and packages are down for ages now(unreachable for at least 3 days)

Edit, got this too right now: "Could not obtain topic watch information"

I think they used to have some syncing issues between different servers? An hour, or maybe half an hour, ago I got a version of this forums that was more than 12 hours old. Immediately afterwards it was totally unreachable until just now.

Still slow as molasses, wiki unreachable, could have at least some status info on the main page.

My intuition says it's the database, with things backing up from there.

Last night I was having issues. Seems to be OK now.

Last night I kept getting "Could not obtain topic watch information".
