Outage? and can't get to secure.voipo.com to open a ticket either

Hi,

Anyone else experiencing an inability to call out or in. I would open a ticket but I can't get to secure.voipo.com either.

N/NW chicago suburbs if that matters.

I have servers in The Planet in Dallas and they have disappeared off the face of The Planet... no pun intended. What's going on at The Planet? Just a black hole right now. support.voipo.com I believe is there. My servers are unreachable.

Are you using BYOD?

If you're having a service outage, please contact support for assistance.

As for vPanel, please see this announcement: http://forums.voipo.com/showthread.p...1931#post11931

The problem is some kind of internet outage. I was unable to load Google, then my own site at hostgator went down, hostgator was down, VOIPo was down.

Tried calling and was unable to call out.
Ya something is going on.

Edit - since I got this site to load I can dial out but hostgator.com and my sites at the planet are not loading.

Edit again Tim knows lol http://forums.voipo.com/showthread.php?t=1428

Incoming calls on two VOIPo numbers are not going through. My backup SIP trunks are working now. Just getting DISCONNECT messages now calling VOIPo DID's.

I am on central01 and it is showing UNREACHABLE.

About 10 minutes later the phone starts ringing. No failover. I am BYOD, but it shows unreachable or high latency on central01. Tried opening a ticket but not sure if it made it.

Also cannot call out on VOIPo trunk.

Central01 is not in The Planet. Can you post a traceroute?

I checked The Planets own forums and the last update posted a moment ago says "We may have a lead, specific to a certain subnet range. This is still unconfirmed, but the network guys are all on the conference bridge working on different parts."

So in English they dunno what is wrong lol.

I still can not get Google to load. Off topic but is anyone else able to pull up google.com?

A specific subnet? :)

Kind of ironic that that would affect multiple datacenters with thousands of servers in hundreds of IP blocks. That's just my opinion though :)

Go ahead and open a ticket or give us a call so we can look into this for you. Everything should be normal at this time.

And I can get to vpanel now and it show my devices connected.

I can also confirm a blip on central01 between 3:05 PM and 3:15 PM PDT when my asterisk had to re-attempt registrations because of timeouts. My traceroute is,

Tim could a Vpanel outage cause other servers to have a problem even if for just a short time. It's kind of odd how the moment "The Planet" went down I was unable to call out and others had issues too.

During the time when I could not make or receive calls, I was able to PING and Trace to central01 without any problems. However I got many registration errors on my asterisk box. I'll look in the log file and see what it thought was wrong.

Several of these in my log files around 17:12 central time:

[2009-05-12 17:11:09] NOTICE[2911] chan_sip.c: -- Registration for 'mydidnumber@central01.voipwelcome.com' timed out, trying again (Attempt #2)

Seems like maybe a bigger Dallas based outage or something?

Is VPanel still having issues? I can't get into the 'contacts' panel (under the features tab). Anyone else?

I have ATT DSL and that the internet was never a problem.

VOIPo had me on East and I went down. I moved to Central and all is well..

We're looking into why some people still had a failure. It looks like a few dozen people went down during that time.

We'll post more info later after we've looked into it more.

There are still lingering problems with vPanel. Contacts are not showing, E911 is missing data, Support tab shows "This feature is currently under development."

I'm seeing the same issues as tritch.

It sounds like you have a cached DNS entry. Can you confirm what IP secure.voipo.com is going to for you?

Looks like you had DNS cached routing you to Softlayer instead of The Planet from failover, but that wasn't supposed to happen actually since we hadn't fully migrated vPanel out of The Planet.

So it was actually hitting Softlayer in your case and accessing an older version.

Can you try it now?

E911 information is not stored on our end. It's all with a third-party E911 vendor. So when you click that in vPanel it queries their database. Since the failover server your vPanel went to is not really a production server, it looks like its IP is not authorized with them to do the ookup so no info is returned.

Once your DNS cache clears and you're back on the production one, you'll be able to see it in there.

That is the response I received from support. It was something along the lines of some people not being able to reach VOIPo's centralized servers. It is strange that some people were taken out by something at The Planet when we are all moved away from it.

All is well for me now.
