I uploaded images and need to look at them (well, more than look) but haven't been able to log into VPHOT for 3 hours now. Anything going on?

Tried again at 9:09 UT. No change.

VPHOT down?

Same problem here, apparently its not my brousers or Internet connection. Thanks for confirming that.

VPhot down; working on it

There are some problems at the Amazon level and the problem is being worked on.

I'll keep you informed!

Fallback server?

Wasn't there a mirror once running at HQ before, and if not, shouldn't we have a backup system to fall back to in these cases? (I never much liked managed services - stuff gets out of your control :(

VPhot is back

VPhot is backup. 240 files processed, queue is 800.

The problem was Amazon's: old hardware ready to retire. Our IT guys backed up the instance and got us restarted.

There may be some hic-ups as we re-tune, but our attention is focused on keeping this running as smooth as possible.

Thank you for your patience. And keep looking up!
