Service for the IETF website has been restored. The cause of the outage was an update from the website software vendor, Torchbox, which caused damage to both the file structure and database content. Both had to be restored from backup to bring the website back online. We do not have specific information as to why this update broke things, and limited log files were inconclusive; however, we will refer this back to Torchbox for followup.
Thank you for your patience. Glen -- Glen Barney IT Director AMS (IETF Secretariat)
