Hello Everyone,
Just rebooted my Meteobridge and I'm getting the black landing page that the bridge cannot connect. I can ping/resolve tau.meteobridge.com and website responds with a 503 service unavailable.
Anyone else experiencing this issue today?
Thanks,
SP

So 10 people have looked at this posting and cannot respond they are/are not having the issue? Sheeshh....
IP connectivity on wlan0 is active. RX and TX packets flowing.
I can SSH into the Meteobride OpenWRT and can ping the tau.meteobridge.com IP address and FQDN successfully
Any ideas all you lurkers?

Camera link (content.meteobrige.com) is also down (503)
From the remote login, the camera + text (admin.meteobridge.com) works.

We just moved our MR3020V1(.9) and it isn't coming up at the moment. We re-imaged the whole firmware to 1.5 and it is now giving us this error:

Retrying.
All networking parameters look good and we are able to log in to the device from the same lan - as well as get to the internet. The device appears to be able to execute name resolution to 8.8.8.8, which indicates the link to the internet is good.

Ok. Hate to say glad to hear it, but means I’m not imagining things. Hopefully they’ll figure this out soon

I'm having the same issue. My MB rebooted and now it won't load - just sits at the landing page.

I hope this gets resolved soon. Can Boris shed any light on it?

Did a little digging. It's possible the Meteobridge infrastructure is housed at a data center called Hetzner which is the last hop of a tracert to tau.meteobridge.com. Their support website shows significant infrastructure outages including network, web hosting and storage. Who knows, but this could take a while...

Looks like a bad day to have power outage it went out around 1:30 new york time and been down since then.
hope it comes back up before the davis logger is fills past outage time. o-well guess we just have to wait and see when the main server gets up and running.
guess it time to get a battery back up for it been procrastinating on it for years....

Server is up again. Root cause was a stalled apache process. We did not face a problem like this for quite some time. It is still unclear to me what made it stall. Watchdog emails did fire, but I am not 24/7 in front of my email

nope, server runs fine. I can also see that the image is delivered to your client:
