A message from Bruce on planet.squeak.org.

(My 2ct: the gateway for the public/internet-network was not ping-able, the reboot helped with that..)

Hi,

Recently David, the server for planet.squeak.org, was grumpy.

The first symptom was that when I logged in that the second request for a ssh pass phrase took much longer, sometimes so long as to time out.

The other problem I get is lots of error messages that look like:

ERROR:planet.runner:Error 500 while updating feed https://astares.blogspot.com/atom.xml

A curl of this on my local Mac returns in about 1 second.

the same on David 

bruceoneel@david:~/tmp$ curl https://astares.blogspot.com/atom.xml
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: astares.blogspot.com

Both the entries in /etc/resolv.conf are not reachable.

bruceoneel@david:~/tmp$ cat /etc/resolv.conf

If I add 1.1.1.1 to the name server list in /etc/resolv.conf it doesn't help.


After Tobias talked to backspace, it turns out that a reboot solved the problem.  Maybe it was a routing problem?  OTOH packets over port 22 did make it in and out so I don't know...


cheers
