Google Down

first time I see this happened

[AthlonInside]

I have been searching for a few thoudsands time and today is the first time I see a server error message.

Server Error
The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request.
Please try again in a minute or so.

Is it because too many people are checking their new site ranking with the new updated index? :)

I see a '502 server error' in title. Any clues from that?

One of the places I check is the Internet Storm Center.. currently showing an Infocon of Yellow which is unusual with a worm scanning for port 445. Maybe this is a DDOS attack?

[Dynamoo]

502 error is an application error I think.

502 = Bad Gateway.. so a routing error.. which would make sense I guess..

Yahoo appears to be getting back on it's feet..

[Efexx]

whats the url for internet storm center? I cant do a search now can i :(

[binki]

Dear Google,

If the main server has crashed, go ahead and replace it from the backup you've got on www2 and www3. Please.

xoxox,

>>I cant do a search now can i

You can use [alltheweb.com...]

[canuck]

Tough being the big-guy on the block... everyone notices every little mistake you make!

I guess I'll use my favorite search engine of 4-5 years ago --- AltaVista... *shudder*

Hrmmm... on 2nd thought I'll just wait for Google!

[heini]

Google.de is up and running

[Flippi]

The same here (Switzerland, Germany): server error

--> NOW it's back! - but slow

[Dynamoo]

Yeah, I didn't post the URL because of the guidelines. Hey, they are other search engines out there. I think ;)

[JonB]

and i though i am the first one to notice! i guess thread started even before google was down ;) you guys are fast!

[Allergic]

Its it back here in Canada...
Update : Down again.
I make some search on 8 competitors yesterday and this morning :
7 of them as loose around 50% of theirs inbound links

Looks like a complete global outage for 15 minutes. Wow.

[korkus2000]

Still server error here. 17 minutes down. The plex must be at red alert.

Canuck... just went to my OLD favorite too, AltaVista is getting real sloooooow too from the extra traffic.

[Dynamoo]

Nope, still no SE results past the front page for me.

[Efexx]

were back on in the UK

[yetanotheruser]

Seems a routing error within Google's IP block, which might explain why Yahoo has got back up so quickly..

[AthlonInside]

Wow, sometimes the main page loads but the search are not working.

This thread move as fast as the the update thread! :)

[panos]

still down here in italy

Server Error
The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request.
Please try again in 30 seconds.

[troi21]

i'm in the uk and still having trouble

[Dynamoo]

I think Yahoo! uses a different data feed from Google, not the live database. They are very slow, that's either increased traffic or a problem with the backend.

[nicebloke]

Google.co.uk seems to be working OK but I still can't search on .com from the UK.

[yetanotheruser]

still not back in the uk, afaik ..

edit: Sorry.. Google's back ok (the site) just search isn't back ..

[globay]

Google.de is up and running

I can't reach it. google.co.jp seems to be up again, but very slow.

[jcoronella]

Server Errors abound on Google.

[dukeblue219]

I'm getting the same error here... I suppose with all those datacenters they could have a problem if one database got corrupted, or communications broke down for a little while.

[Flippi]

I tried google.ca . It says: 'Please try again in a minute or so.' - What now? 30 seconds or a minute? ;-)

It's interesting to see what happens when Google is down...

[canuck]

Dynamoo, yeah I think Yahoo's database of Google is several days old... everyone must be going to Yahoo since Google is down and now causing overloads on Yahoo.
