Slackdoc howtos not available?
 
1 Attachment(s)
Trying to load some howtos at the Slackdoc site and I'm getting an error.

Perhaps you hit an Akamai cache issue? Here, https://docs.slackware.com/howtos:start looks OK.

I'm getting the same results as hitest for every link in the Read a HOW TO and Write a HOW TO sections of the main page, https://docs.slackware.com/. All other links work fine.

Hm. I updated the SSL certificate of another virtual host (bear.alienbase.nl) on that same machine this afternoon. The docs.slackware.com vhost uses a different certificate but it is also behind Akamai's content managing/caching infrastructure like all the slackware.com servers.
The two must have something to do with each other, but I need someone to look at the Akamai side of this issue. My server shows nothing in the logs.

Many thanks for having a look at this, Eric. Yes. The main slackdoc site is accessible. The collection of howto articles don't load. Interesting.

Well lots more pages are not loading than just the HOWTOS.

If you can live with an invalid SSL certificate (I had not anticipated docs.slackware.nl when I generated it) you can find a link to the Wiki at https://docs.slackware.nl/ - this is not behind a Akamai caching server and therefore you will get the actual Wiki content served.

Thanks for the link, Eric. I can access the article I need. Much appreciated! :)

https://docs.slackware.com _should_ be working now - works for me, at least.
If it doesn't, please include the 'error reference number' here.

Thanks for that! Now OK for me.

laprjns 04-03-2018 07:54 AM

All the READ and WRITE HOW TO links now work here.

Alien Bob 04-03-2018 07:58 AM

Yes, I worked with drmozes to fix the issue and ensure that it will not happen again.

hitest 04-03-2018 08:30 AM

Many thanks for the fix, gentlemen! Marking this as solved. :)

I cannot get to the HOWTO Slackware Administration today.

Ok now. Just super slow!
