Main site down

As of right now, 6:27 pm PT, the main F@h site seems to be completely down. Any page I try to access gives me

Home » Access forbidden

The page you requested is not accessible. This may either be due to the server not having permission to access this directory, or a server error. If you are the administrator for this site, please check the permissions on this directory and file a HelpSU if you need help. If you are a user, please contact the administrators for this site, or HelpSU if you think the error is due to a server problem.

Confirmed. No recent post on folding.typepad.com about it though, but that may be to come if it persists.

The only working pages are on the 'old' fah-web domain -> https://fah-web.stanford.edu/projects/

Edit -> the issue is already known https://gadgets.stanford.edu/prod/mmr/c ... lerts.cgi#

AFS afssvr43 crashed 2011-09-09 18:04:00
Service Interruption The server is currently down and not coming back up. All AFS volumes on afssvr43 and the websites they host are currently unavailable.

Core download is returning error too

[10:42:07] - Error: HTTP GET returned error code 0
[10:42:07] + Error: Could not download core
[10:42:07] + Core download error (#3), waiting before retry...

afssvr43 seems to contain anything hosted on http://folding.stanford.edu and the cores are located in that domain so it's to be expected

I would have hoped the problem(s) would be quicker to resolve, not that familiar with afs but I think it already uses a server cluster and dynamic load balancing ect to deal with individual servers going down. Let's hope the problem can be resolved quickly.

Btw, couldn't this be related to a power problem ( vaguely remember reading something about power outages ).

Edit: btw site's up for me

Indeed, it seems back online

This seems to be Stanford's site on AFS, for those who want to know: AFS at Stanford.

Afaik, that's only the AFS implementation for enabling transparent file sharing for faculty, staff, and students, the AFS sever in the maintenance message is more related as far as I can determine to a ( virtual ) server with an afs based filesystem. The methodology is the same, the usage isn't what you could learn from reading your link.

afssvr43.stanford.edu resolves to 171.67.22.55

folding.stanford.edu resolves to 171.67.216.21

afssvr43 being down at the same time as 171.67.216.21 went down seems to indicate that afssvr43 hosts files needed for 171.67.216.21.

All AFS volumes on afssvr43 and the websites they host are currently unavailable

It's a good guess, but it's still just a guess. By your own standards, hard evidence is required, not guesses.

MtM · Post by **MtM** » Mon Sep 12, 2011 7:24 pm

To state something as fact, you need hard evidence. But I didn't, I used 'seems' and 'as far as I can determine', indicating they are indeed assumptions not facts. Sorry if that wasn't clear enough from my previous posts.

7im · Post by **7im** » Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:13 pm

Oh, but you did state it as fact in your first post. "Known issue" sounds rather "factual" to me.

And the rest of the thread was really hard to follow. I couldn't tell if you were countering your original statment, or trying to make it sound "more" factual.

In any case, you have since made your point clearly. No need for a response.
