Thread: Web page down (ad server)
Something is wrong with the web site for me. I look at: http://www.postgresql.org/developer/ then this is what I see: http://www.zigo.dhs.org/~dennis/tmp/dev.png (everything is there except the main content that is not). Turns out it's related to the ads, so if I just adblock the ad server I can see the page just fine. Kind of bad it's needed however :-) I also tried to show the page in opera and it looks the same as in firefox. ps. The cvs server also seems to be down (postgresql.org). -- /Dennis Björklund

(Since you tried a different browser, I assume you did). Could be just one mirror that's broken - can you check which mirror you're serving off? Also, does it serve any specific ad? Or does it break with different ads? (Should be visible from view source) > ps. The cvs server also seems to be down (postgresql.org). Can't say anything about that one. //Magnus

Maybe it's was some dns problem (all the adresses seemed to resolve, but maybe some adress have been updated but not propagated to all dns servers, or something. What do I know?). As I said, I could solve it just fine by using adblock so it's not a problem for me. I just wanted to tell someone about it. I did try like 50 times during 30 minutes. Every time it got stuck waiting on 200.46.208.156. And guess what, now that I remove the adblock to try some more it seems to work again. Aaarg, computers drive me crazy :-) -- /Dennis Björklund

Seems like I should have waited some more before sending the mail. I waited 30 minutes but I should have waited 40... -- /Dennis Björklund

Any page related to postgres would stop halfway. Eventually I tracked it down to it trying to access a completely different site (probably the ads). I Null routed that IP and everything came back fine. It would be possible to format the adblock in such a way that it doesn't prevent rendering if it isn't there...

Everything appears to be fine, and been fine, for ~23 days now, so it isn't the server crashing/rebooting or anything like that ... and my network connection from home hasn't drop'd or anything, so my route to the server(s) appears to be clean ... am curious if maybe your routing was down, and, if so, at what point ... ---- Marc G.
