It seems that all of the AV sites are down this morning. Does anyone know what's happening?

I'm sure it's a temporary thing...just anxious and curious.
 
There was a notice they would be down until sometime today.Server migration ending sometime mid day saturday.
 
Alex will be up very soon.
In the 5 years I have been with AV this is the second time I was down.
That is good customer service.
 
I'm still down. I called Alex yesterday afternoon a half hour after the scheduled time and he said he would stay there till it was back up. He muttered something about the "it can't find the DNS" like I knew what the hell that meant. He thought they were close then but apparantly it was a big problem on the change over. I think I"m having email withdrawels...
 
I haven't gotten any spam for close to 48 hours. Mickley, if I do get any spam I'll forward it on to you. :D
 
I was begining to wonder if it was my ISP.... this is better, I can count on AV to do whats needed. (talking to the ISP is like pulling hens teeth)

"it can't find the DNS"

Ahhhh.... hmmm... in that case, they're having lots of "fun" (and colorful language, in my experiance...)

They're getting somewhere with it, now their website is back up.

"email withdrawels"
I hear ya there... ;)

3:05 PM Sunday. My email is up...but my sites are still down... or sporatically available. AV is just so darn dependable that I never read the notices anymore about "scheduled maintainance" or "migration"....or "Missing DNS".....:D:D Like the EverReady Bunny... they just always run and run.

Same as Tracy, I'm having withdrawals without my email. I wish I could just send myself a note so I have something to answer...yep...me and myself have some pretty good conversations :D:D

I seem to have the market cornered on spam involving either the size or state of my penis. I think some one is trying to tell me something. Send me your email address, I'll trade you. Your spam sounds better than my spam....
 
Sunday, 4:40pm Montana time.... all I can get is terminal "loading" on my mail or website.
Guess this "migration" thing is turning into a pain in the behind for everyone thats with AV. I feel bad for Alex, I know how much customer service means to him.....he's probably going half mad trying to get things working correctly.
 
8 pm EST back down since before the Colts lost to the Patriots......
Sometimes it rains and pours before the sun comes out......
Hope Alex and AV can get it fixed and "for good" soon!!!!!
 
DNS issues can take a while to fix due to propagation times. Don't be surprised if we all find out that it's back up for some people and not others at first.

Personally, I get someone on the DNS side making sure it's right while I'm moving gear, since you've got the lag time of server refreshes.

If that didn't make sense to you: it takes some time for address changes in websites to go to all the "post offices" on the internet - and if there's an initial error it takes longer.

email get's what is called a retry timeout, where if it doesn't go through at first, the mail server sending your email (usually your isp) waits a few minutes then resends, then waits a few hours and resends, and so on for usually 4 days. so email can take a bit of time to catch up, too.

Monday morning, 6:63am....still cannot access my website or webmail. I understand having problems, but this is getting annoying. Kinda tough to run your business when your website doesn't work.

Has anybody heard anything? I doubt that emailing Alex would do any good since he probably uses the AV webmail.
 
Thank-You Koyote for the information.
It is 9:45 am EST Mon. 11-5-07, and what you described seems to be where it is.....One site I really want up, alot, isn't yet. Several others I was also checking are up.
Frustrating, but your explanation helped alot with understanding.
 
Same here....I've been up and down most of the morning (monday). I've recieved some email...no spam yet..Tracy where are you???

..........It's 10:40 EST and everything seems to be working for me. Keep your fingers crossed and let's buy Alex a few beers after his strenous weekend.
 
Been watching over the weekend, I'm still waiting on our site to come back up. Never had serious downtime before, afik. Would like a few more details about the DNS issue, got a lot of emails early on, but haven't heard anything lately :(
 
Knowing Alex, I would be he has been working on the problem without a wink of sleep.
