Seems to be returning “error” when accessing.
As a result I don’t seem to be able to put up an alert either on SOTAWatch. “Invalid Association”. I’m tying to add for GW/MW-034.
Same thing happening here and also yesterday for a few hours. Sotadata is down too…
VA2MO.
OK. No doubt the “authorities” will now be aware… no problem, I can of course wait to post my alerts.
Admins - delete this when fixed or when you see fit. Ta
Apparently still a problem (0400 UTC 8/5/17) as going to the associations page reports simply in small print under the heading (error) - no more detail than that however as the page at sotadata.org.uk never loads, as Eric suggests, I guess this is the real problem - that the database server is down.
Please note that spots and alerts cannot be placed currently via the web interface at http://sotawatch.org/spots.php and http://sotawatch.org/alerts.php - valid associations are rejected, again as access to the DB is not possible.
Spotting facilities that don’t validate the summit reference, such as Smartphone Apps will most likely still work.
SPOTLITE Summits on the Air is still working.

The DB server was down for a few hours on Saturday and what looks like Monday 0000UTC till 0845UTC. I did have a ticket in with the hosts for Saturday’s outage. I haven’t checked with them for Monday’s issue. I will do but I’m busy at work right now…
Suffice to day everything should be running again. However, when the DB fails, there will be issues with SOTAwatch because it uses the DB for summit verification. Also the SOTA website now uses the DB live for summit info and association info.
