FTP, WWW down!

My domain g-b.dk is acting strangely right now (started 7 July 07:10 UTC). I can't login to FTP ("530 g-b.dk: Connection refused") and the homepage which uses Perl doesn't run ("HTTP Error 500: Internal server error").

A static HTML sub-page works though. Without FTP access, I can't even view the logs to see if the Perl has outputted any warnings or messages.

I've never seen this error before, and I haven't changed a byte on the site or the setup. Is DH having problems?

Luckily the mail service is not affected, but I urgently need the website running because it runs my personal intranet!

Looks like it's your machine down or machine down. You could check the stats https://panel.dreamhost.com/index.cgi?tree=status.sysstat&

Also your static page doesn't load.

If it shows your machine up then it's probably a routing issue.

I agree, it's working now. What a strange hiccup. Could this have been an unscheduled server reboot? There's no outage listed in the stats page, by the way.

I guess I'll go and recall that support incident...

Just to close this thread, here's another example of the fine response time from support. Within an hour of writing to support, I received a reply from them:

There was a problem with your server and it has been fixed so everything should be working now. If there is anything else I can help you with just let me know.
