Hi,

before a tar in metalink is opened, you get a number of suggestions, based on your input, after which you can decide to go on or not, which might apply to your case. I wonder if something could be achieved like that.

greetings,

Michael

Hi Danno,

Forum was completely inaccessible from about 13:00 to 14:00 CST today. Just would not respond.

Rgds,
Jeff

Same thing from here, Dan.

I could not get to forums.itrc.hp.com or forums1.itrc.hp.com. I did manage to get to forums2.itrc.hp.com but that appears to be a test box or something because the posts were way out of whack with the regular forums site.

[Elmar P. Kolkman]

Not in a forum, but on the main page:
most active forums
» hp-ux technical documentation-HP-UX 0 posts
» HP Systems Insight Manager-Management software and system tools 0 posts
» system administration-HP-UX 142638 posts

Seems to me the top two are not really the top, do you? ;-)

Happy holidays to you all,

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Inaccessability cause the stats to be able to re-read exactly 0 profiles.

I will try to have it redo tonight.

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

Dan,

I've been completely locked out of the Forums for the last hour or so (maybe 7:15 AM EST til just now). I couldn't even open the home page!!

Hi Danno,

Was getting constant 500 errors trying to reply since 07:00 CST to just now when I logged out & back in.

This was preceded by frequent 120001 errors.

The gremlins have been in the system lately it appears.

Rgds,
Jeff

Disappointing availablility all day through. No Fun!

[Elmar P. Kolkman]

Jeff's solution solved my problem with not being able to login...

Merijn, do you also do stats on availability of the forums ;-/

Enjoy the holidays

Elmar

[Kurt Beyers.]

Same story over here. Either the forums were unavailable and if they were available again, I couldn't reply.

Untill I logged out and on again. A good to know for the future.

Kurt

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Yes, Elmar, I do! and for a long time already.

If you go to my site, you can click on the "3" of the year in each stat to see the speed graph. An example (past week) is attached.

Time Zone is Amsterdam

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

Hi Dan,

There is still some wierdness going on in the Forums. I don't know if this is a by-product of whatever has been going on yesterday and today or not.

The following thread:
http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=327466
shows to have 5 replies to it, but when I click on it, I can only see 2 replies.

I think the Forums have decided to take their Holiday break early.

[Ron Kinner]

The forum was gone for several hours yesterday and today it is acting very flaky. Lots of 404s and some odd messages when you try and post. Second try usually works. It's the same over on the business forum.

[Steven E. Protter]

The forum is non-functional, usually on reply with Mozilla 1.4, HP-UX 11.11

The forum is currently functional with IE 5.5

An update even if only acknowleding that something is going on at HP would be most helpful.

SEP

[Pete Randall]

Seconding SEP's report. Netscape 7.0 under both HP-UX 11i and Windoze gets the message "Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load the requested page." Mozilla under HP-UX 11i seems to work. IE, unfortunately works.


Pete

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Depends on the load I guess. I got alternating success with Firebird and Opera. Sometimes it's just 500 and 404 sometimes it's OK. It's like playing russian roulatte with a stengun

I sincerely hope it's maintainance, but we all want to know what's causing this trouble

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

Test with Opera 7.50 Preview 1

Also it's January so we need a new thread.

[melvyn burnard]

Done, and Dan has been posted details.

[Michael Schulte zur Sur]

Hi Dan,

when a thread gets removed, could a page be shown, saying so, instead of a blank page?

thanks,

Michael

Hi Dan,

Europe-Search engine returns rubbish today:

"end of life tru64" with only "forums" checked returns a 100% hit at

http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=202973

... which has neither "end" nor "life" in text and nothing to do with the intended Serach result :-(
