Re: scala-tools.org down

OK, CalPop checked it and said that the network cable was bad. I'm a network engineer and in my experience cables don't generally go bad, but it seems to be working now so I don't feel like complaining too loudly ;)

Hi all,
    DPP gave me access to the primary Xen server that everything else runs on, but I'm unable to reach it. This may either be a network failure or a total hardware failure, but it's unclear at this point. I'm going to call CalPop, the hosting provider, and see if they can look at the box.

I'm still working with CalPop on the issue, but it looks to me like they disabled the port on the router and didn't enable it until Derek called.

The good news is that I've got pingdom monitoring the machine.  The bad news is that I was out of cell phone range so I didn't get the alerts.

Thanks Derek for calling CalPop!

What?  You're not allowed to relax!

No, I'm not.  Last family vacation, scala-tools.org was DoSed.  This family vacation, the network connection to the machine got hosed.  Sigh.

I smell a conspiracy!

The answer from CalPop:

I just checked the cable and the clip on the RJ45 is missing, I slightly touched the cable and it came loose again. It could be that another colocated customer was working in that area during the time the server went down.
