MtGox down?

[Zeek_W]

Of course when I finally get around to try some trading MtGox returns:

Database access error, please retry later

A few minutes after I do my first trade

I checked http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ and it appears up - but I tried on a few different computers and different connections.

Hope it's temporary.

[Pteppic]

Yeah, I can't get in either. Googling mtgox brings up a message saying it is down and they are working on an issue.

[Zeek_W]

Cheers for confirming for me. Hopefully its not too bad - if its a hack ill be pissed

[nomnomnom]

You may try again, because it is working here. I am logged in.
Bitcointalk was also down for a short time earlier...

[chrisLG]

Yeah. They're back up again. Looks like the database had problems...

[Zeek_W]

Yeah MtGox came back up and now down again for me.

The forums were down for maybe 30 minutes or so before?

[chrisLG]

Yes they were. And Gox is still goxing for me too.

[warlordluke]

I think they might be having intermittent network problems or maybe some kind of network attack.

[chrisLG]

Actually it looks like their database has the hickups... the forum had that too.

[Zeek_W]

Yeah - its still intermittent for me. Probably not helping when I'm furiously F5ing

[warlordluke]

Looks like it's back up again for the moment.

For the record: downformeoreveryonelse will only report correctly for issues involving reachability of a server (DNS routing errors and 500 type errors). For database issues such as here it will report the site as up, even if the desired functionality of the site is not.
