Riscos.info - Site Down?

Hello Forum,

is it just me, or is the riscos.info website (and with it ‘Pacman’) down and unreachable?

I can’t reach it. It resolves to 199.204.184.110. It appears to be up, but the ports are being filtered so maybe a firewall was reconfigured and accidently blocked all incoming ports?

How do you determine that? http://ping.eu/ping/ shows 100% packet loss, so to me it looks like the server isn’t responding at all…

It turns out I can get into it via IPv6, but all IPv4 and some IPv6 routing is broken. I have a ticket open with the hosting company (who don’t work weekends :( )

I’ll put updates on http://www.markettos.org.uk/riscos.info/

It looks like in future I need to look at failover for at least the Packman repository…

Ping’s pretty unreliable on the modern web. I just tried to connect to a bunch of different ports, and packets weren’t dropped, so must be filtered like a firewall. Personally I set my firewalls to drop so people can’t tell if I’m online or not.

It now has imperfect IPv4 connectivity, so I’ve triaged so that www.riscos.info (and thus Packman repos) is now functional. Email and other things await further response to my ticket.

thank you, PacMan seems to work again :)

Everything should be back to normal now.

Is it down again? I get timeouts with the PC and with the Pi in RO.

Yup.

Funny. I just checked that myself a couple of minutes ago. Talk about timing. I’m putting together a fresh RO system disc. Or at least trying to.

It’s back up. PackMan seems to be missing a large portion of the packages. I wonder what happened?

e: nm. Most of the repositories were disabled on packman on my new install for some reason.
