Adobe.com outages

Adobe and Macromedia websites have had some outages recently. I have been trying to get to MXNA all morning, and I have been presented with a ColdFusion error. From what I hear, they will have their web infastructure merged within the next few weeks. I guess I will have to be patient.

Sean Corfield's Gravatar Just to clarify, weblogs.macromedia.com is a completely separate system from the main www sites and is not 'owned' by Web Team - it's essentially a self-supported system 'owned' by Mike Chambers and Christian Cantrell as far as I know.

John Dowdell's Gravatar As Sean said, two issues here, but both prompt understandable frustration.... ;-)

The adobe.com integration is reaching a new milestone the next few weeks, and so right now there's a ton of page edits, path edits, internal redirects, and more... even an 0.001% error rate will be noticeable. Keep an eye on David Hatch's blog for best info (although he's really working hard now and writing time is scarce):

The MXNA server is also in transition, gradually being integrated with blogs.adobe.com in some way. That single server Mike & Christian set up has been due for replacement for awhile, and handles a very high level of spam traffic (mm.com has high SEO rank)... it's a tricky time right now, as ownership & maintainence of the systems consolidate.

Summary: Yes, you're right, and I'm sufferin' along with you here too.... ;-)

David Fekke's Gravatar I certainly know what you are going throught. I have yet to go throught a switchover where there were not issues going live.

Granted, Adobe certainly has a larger infastructure then I have worked with before. It would be interesting to hear about the new set up once your rollout is finished.

Good luck.
