PyPI down?

Hi All,

PyPI appears to not be responding.

Anyone know why that is and when normal service might be resumed?

cheers,

Chris

Chris,

PyPi seemed to be unresponsive earlier during the day but currently it  
looks like normal service is resumed.

Regards, Simon.

Indeed, it would be good to know what was done to resolve it and by whom ;-)

It would certainly be nice to know that, indeed.

What is the official policy with regard to maintainance and failover? I know there is a bigger issue (PEP
381) but in case it's just a matter of manpower to restart the server or kick apache once in a while, I'd
happily volunteer to help out.

I restarted Apache.

Any idea what had brought it down?
Were there lots of worker threads? High CPU usage? Memory starvation?
Does the database that backs PyPI live on the same machine?

cheers,

Chris

PyPI down again...

...would be good to know what brought it down before and what has 
brought it down again.

As an interim solution, what do I need to do to get access to the box 
running PyPI so I can get in and investigate/restart Apache?

cheers,

Chris

It works for me.

Since PyPI is a rather essential Python resource, is there some
monitoring in place to automatically notify the webmasters ?

Something like e.g. a Zenoss instance checking whether PyPI is
pingable.

If not, we'd need to address this in the PSF infrastructure committee.

Yes, I guess someone went in and did something.
Given that the topic in #python says its down and a couple of those 
"down for me or everyone" websites all confirmed it when I was having 
problems...

Good question...

Hmm, not enough. I suspect the box would have been pingable, it's just 
the web app that is getting wedged...

Re: PyPI down again...

Up again...


For sure some monitoring and logging informations would be great. I'm working right now to test the code validity with unittests and after that I would like implemented a couple of new functionalities like that. 

Who is responsible of the project and the maintenance ?

I was starting to work on pypi with tarek ziade, to implement distutils 2 new metadata, and I'm completely focus on quality and things like that.
