Heads up! OpenPorts.se suffered a server failure

Contributed by johan on 2009-09-08 from the HALP!-Iz-problem! dept.

Update (Wed Sep 9 09:18:00 CEST 2009): Thanks to user akl for telling us that the problem seems to have been taken care of and openports.se has got what they need.

User Brynet sent a mail to tell us about the openports.se site having major problems. They have put up a distress call on their frontpage.

Brynet wrote:

The front page at http://openports.se/ now has the following message:

"The server that was doing the updates is dead, thats why there is no updates. We don't have a replacement at the moment.

Perhaps undeadly readers might be able to help them out? I've always found the service useful, getting an email report for security updates is a very desirable feature." As a community, maybe we should show some gratitude for them offering the service at no charge.

Should we start a funding drive or just appeal for hardware donations?

Maybe openports.se could give us some information on the type of hardware they need (CPU and disk space) so we have a better idea of the replacement that needs to be funded and/or donated.

I am willing to pitch in some Euros.

I've offered to host it.

from the top of openports.se front page: "The problem is solved, thanks to everyone that contacted us!"
