Hey all
Yes, the box appears to be down - well apache service isn't working.
I've logged a call with the support peeps. We don't have SSH access to
the live servers here at BBC, but someone who does will probably just
need to login and restart apache.
Sadly, due to the "experimental nature" of the box we run backstage on,
we don't have 24/7 cover. It's something which I think might happen
during the year - backstage (and other sites, see below) will move over
to the main BBC server farm which is covered 24/7. Also there are 40+
servers spanning London + New York so if one goes down, you wouldn't
notice it.
Backstage server also powers:
open.bbc.co.uk
creativearchive.bbc.co.uk
... So if it goes down, so do those sites sadly :(
Will keep you posted,
Ben :: backstage.bbc.co.uk
