[Mageia-sysadm] getting mageia

Wed Jun 8 04:59:09 CEST 2011

It is the Mageia forum index login. I just tried it and I could not log in. The error message is "You have specified an incorrect password. Please check your password
+and try again. If you continue to have problems please contact the Board Administrator.“ I know the password is correct.
+It is not important, because I do not need to post on the forum. I just wanted to let you know that registrations are occasionally messed up.

+
+What do you call "the mageia site" ? 
+As we do have lots of them ( like bugs.mageia.org, www.mageia.org,
+forums.mageia.org, etc, etc ) we need to know more precisely the website
+address of where the problem happened if we want to find what happened. 
+
+Without more information, we cannot do much :/
+
+For example, telling when it happened would help us to see if we were
+working on servers at this moment. Telling the ip address or the
+provider could help to find information in the log. 
+
+Could you try to see if the problem still happen, and give us a error
+message ?

+
+Without more information, again we cannot help you much.
+Can't you find the date ( and time of the problem ), even if it is not
+precise ( like around 2h precision ) ? 
+
+As we said on our blog, we faced a power cut on our servers, that
+blocked some services
+( http://blog.mageia.org/en/2011/05/28/power-outage-on-mageia-servers/
+), so this could be related.
+
+> And I believe the beta was still out when I tried downloading it, but I do not remember the exact procedure I used.
+
+Well, then I cannot help more or fix anything. It worked for us and
+still work now :/
