Bunnies for Porting Centre help

Kelli Ward — Thu, 10 Apr 2003 17:19:11 GMT

Hi all,
I have been trying to connect to the HP-UX Porting and Archive Centre (Utah mirror) for a couple of days now. Wisconsin is down and has a splash page for this Utah is consistantly giving me 10060 Connection timed out.
Can anybody else get to it?
Or does anyone know the story?
Note: I can get to the UK site, but would like to know what's up.

Easter is coming and I'm in the mood to give free bunnies. Please let me know.
Thanks,
Kel

Kel,

I've been experiencing the exact same scenario. Wisconsin has been down for nearly a year, I think. Utah hasn't responded for two or three weeks. Thank goodness for UK!

Hmmm.....I thought it was just me. I have had some trouble getting to http://hpux.cs.utah.edu recently. I tried it just now and it came up fine for me.

Wisconsin has been down for quite a while. I've given up on that mirror.

I generally use either Utah or the original in the UK. http://hpux.connect.org.uk

Hi,
I was starting to pull hair.
I'm having intermittant problems with ITRC connection with 10060's and 404's, but Utah is consistent. (I know some is on my end.)
Case in point, I had to submit this post 4 times to get it to go.
I've never used it, is the UK mirror identical to the Utah? I was a bit worried about language support UK english vs. US.

Thanks,

Thanks,
I'm over at the UK site and have it bookmarked as well.
I sent an email to the UK site asking if they knew anything. I'm curious now.
With a little luck they might actually answer.
If they do I'll reply to this post.
Thanks again,
Kel

I believe I have connected to utah in the last three weeks, though most of the time it has been down. I got lsof there, within the last week or so.

I have now run tests. My test results are in line with JRF's post.

My method of access has never been bookmark. I have software.hp.com bookmarked and clicked the Public Domain link.

Perhaps HP should make an inquiry as to the status of the porting server and change their link to a site thats up more than its down.

Hi Steven,
Thinking that the UK centre might not know/care what the heck I'm talking about, I went to the main site of the of the utah mirror (which was up by the way) and sent an email to their webmaster, we'll see if I get anything back.
Now, about your points, I tried to post them 4 times but the submit button doesn't seem to be functioning fully.
If your points didn't show up, I'll try again later.
Thanks,
Kel

Kel,

We should be giving you points for your efforts in trying to resolve the "Utah Issue". At the very least, here's a thankyou: Thanks!

Kelli Ward — Fri, 11 Apr 2003 17:45:31 GMT

Thanks!
I'd settle for 3 points.
Then I become a purple pointy person!
Oooo... so close and yet so far. :-p
Haven't heard anything, but I'll let everyone know if I do.

Kel,

If you would like, simply reply to this thread and you'll have yourself a nice new hat:

I checked - you haven't replied to it yet, so it's perfectly legitimate and I'd be proud to be the one to put your over the top.

Hey,
I just had a thought, if anyone is interested, here is the email address of the utah site web master. maybe if a number of us are interested and email them, they'll either work on it or give us an answer.
Can I entice anyone with a bunny for a response? I'm okay with a little light bribery. ;)

webmaster@cs.utah.edu

Maybe they'll be more inclined to do something if they know (hear from) there are many people that depend on them.

Pete Randall — Fri, 11 Apr 2003 17:55:19 GMT

Kel,

The check is in the (e)mail!

Jason Martens — Fri, 11 Apr 2003 19:50:09 GMT

I sent an e-mail to the webmaster and got the following reply:

This not an "official" cs.utah.edu site, but it should be up...although it
was down a few weeks ago. The person who maintains it has been notified
and hopefully it'll be back up soon.

AFAIK, he plans to keep the mirror running.

Hi Jason,
Thanks for the update.
Here's your first bunny.
Treat him kind, may he be fruitful and multiply. ;)
Kel

Re: Bunnies for Porting Centre help

Pete Randall — Fri, 11 Apr 2003 22:25:51 GMT

Kel,

Honestly, have you ever heard of a bunny that wasn't fruitful and didn't multiply? We may need to encourage, maybe even cajole but we can hook Jason on the forums - I just know it!

Hi,

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu
still not working!

so, i've updated my favourites to http://hpux.connect.org.uk

just wondering if the contents of those sites listed above are different...

hopefully, we won't find other mirror sites "closing down".

Best Regards
