Server down!

Postby Captain Chaos » Sun Jul 25, 2010 4:05 pm UTC

The xkcd.org server ( 72.26.203.99) seems to be down. I'm getting connection refused on port 80. According to http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/xkcd.com it's not just me...

Is this scheduled downtime, or is something wrong? Help! I need my xkcd fix...

Hm. It's down for me, too, but I can successfully ping it.

Down here (Austria) too .. tried it from several providers.

Name resolves properly, resolved IP responds to ping, but there's
no webserver responding on 80 or 443 :-(

Yeah, I can ping it too, I should have said. Seems clear the server is up and running, but the web server is not.

Yup, working for me again too. Good! I missed a few comics and I was getting withdrawal symptoms... ;-)
