Unable to log in to vim.org

[Brett Stahlman]

When I attempt to log in to vim.org to upload a script release, either the login page hangs, or I get a "query failed IX3" error. Does anyone know whether the site is down? I think I have the correct username and password but can't tell for sure.

Thanks, Brett Stahlman

If you go to the home page you should see a warning for "Database
Problems". The website depends on a database, which currently isn't
working. Usually this kind of problem goes away after a short while.

I'll add a remark that this also affects login.

It seems to work now again. I can login and do not see issues with the
database anymore.

Best,
Christian

For me it looks like it's fully working again. I don't have information
about what was wrong. I hope it won't happen again.

I have just found out that vim.org is not accessible.  Firefox reports:  "We can’t connect to the server at vim.org. Did you mean to go to www.vim.org?"

Indeed, www.vim.org does allow access to the main site.  When I attempt to ping vim.org:

# ping vim.org
ping: vim.org: Name or service not known

Pinging www.vim.org attempts to work, but it never completes.  Maybe you have ping blocked to avoid other networking problems.

In any event, it looks like vim.org is not properly forwarding to www.vim.org and not properly DNS registered..

This has been discussed several times. TLDR: always use www.vim.org

But this is a different issue than the one reported before, which was an
issue with the database connection at the vim.org server side.

I did not see any message in the moderation queue. Usually posting via a
NNTP News Reader does not work.

Best,
