Gc.com Down?

[+lefty2448]

Server busy error. Anyone else having problems???

[+QDman]

Yep.

[+beejay&esskay]

Yes. It just started happening for me in the last 15 minutes or so.

 

But this probably belongs in the forum that Jeremy looks at more often.

[+mtn-man]

Yep, down for me too, just a few minutes ago.

Moving the topic.

[+CompuCash]

shure is -

 

dead and stinking -

 

no announcement so this must be some kind of system crash

 

I can get to a friend's profile page but nothing else.

 

I had to go to yesterday's history to get here as I usually enter though the gc forums link.

 

seems to be the exact same error no matter where I go.

 

as stated it seems to have just started as I cleared 2 pq's and then actually received one that I run only a couple times per month.

 

hopefully they will be back up soon -

Thank you.

[+GOT GPS?]

I had to find a link to Groundspeak hidden away, but Im here, because I found it.

 

I guess I should save the link to the forums main page on my DESKTOP.

[+BillsBayou]

Blame it on Katrina.

 

[+Airmapper]

I thought it was MY computer, it's usually the problem.

[+KoosKoos]

Sure wish I could have done an auto-update PQ yesterday so that I could have updated data to go caching this morning.....

[+MercRocks]

Still down

Always the way when you want to get a quick fix....

Bummer

[+deimos444]

Try going in from a forum subscription. It works for me.

OOPS! No it doesn't.

I can't get into anything but the forums right now. Glad I ran a PQ earlier this morning.

[+Jhwk]

[+geo_trekers]

ROFL! Why schedule PQs indeed!

[+CompuCash]

Blame it on Katrina.

 

 

that's a little difficult as gs is in SEATTLE!

 

that's just about as far as you can get -

so am I!

 

see previous post above -

 

the forums are on their own server so are not affected by issues with gc.com

Server busy error. Anyone else having problems???

Yes - still - at 09:45 PDT.

 

Although most of the errors returned were server busy errors did see a couple of other ones as well.

 

Leaving shortly for a weekend trip - and all I've got is a map with the cache positions plotted on it (in MapPoint) Was hoping to snag a few caches along the way ... but don't have any info other than the map coordinates, GC waypoint and cache name. Really would like to read-up on a few of these to see if they fit into our travel plans!

 

Let's hope the problem isn't anything too major ...

[+geognerd]

With the exception of the Washington DC area and around Memphis TN, the weather looks nice for the whole country. Maybe a bit warm in some spots. Perhaps the folks in the Central and Eastern time zones are just coming in from a morning of caching and everyone's logging their finds at once. I just got in and tried to log my finds and update a couple of my caches...without success.

[+RocketMan]

Let’s hope they have the data backed up!

[+w1qa]

Here is one of the other errors that was received this morning:

 

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'

 

[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (PreLoginHandshake()).]General network error. Check your network documentation.

 

/mark/details.asp, line 16

seems to be down hard now - can't even get the server errors

[+Anonymous']

I don't even get errors, it just sends me to search msn.

[+RocketMan]

It would be nice to have a statement from TPTB.

[+TheAprilFools]

The whole thing seams down to me.

[+TotemLake]

Time to go caching!

[2oldfarts (the rockhounders)]

Even Waymarking is down, so therefore we couldn't go there to find anything to carp about.

 

Just maybe they are doing some intergrating of the two sites?

[Keystone]

Scheduled upgrades and maintenance typically don't occur during peak usage times, and Groundspeak folks like to enjoy their weekends, too. Safe to say that this was unexpected.

[+RocketMan]

Back Up!

[Jeremy]

There was an issue with the DB server which was causing connection issues with both sites. The login routine is linked on both sites to the same database although the major content is on separate databases and machines.

 

Both sites are back up. I'm sure Elias will put together a quick post mortem about what happened.

[+Anonymous']

Thanks jeremy.
