It seems that the SWISH notebook application (https://swish.swi-prolog.org/) is down. I used it in my previous semester course. Now as I see it be down, I am at a loss. Kindly help
The site is up for me.
Thanks. But somehow its not up for me.
Do you get a timeout or something else?
What do you get at http://eculture3.labs.vu.nl
Thanks for the response.
The SWISH page shows ‘connection timeout’.
http://eculture3.labs.vu.nl shows ‘connection was reset’
Can you ping SWISH? I get around 101ms from here (near New York, USA)
It shows ‘ping request could not find host SWISH’
Sorry, I should have suggested “ping swish.swi-prolog.org”
I suggested that because the ‘connection timeout’ and ‘connection was reset’ indicates that Nginx is timing out and i wanted to see if you had a slow internet connection to SWISH. Maybe @jan has an idea.
I’m afraid not. The server is up and running. All works just fine. All I can imagine is that something in the middle is blocking traffic either to this destination or from this source. Anyone else with problems?
It does seem to be specific to @plaban. Some of the Nginx ‘connection timeout’ pages seemed to say it might be a timeout between Nginx and the backend, but I cannot think of any way that would affect only one user.
I forgot to ask @plaban, have you tried another browser?
I did ‘ping swish.swi-prolog.org’. It shows request timed out. I tried with chrome and Mozilla firefox. I tried from behind a firewall (my institute network) as well as from outside firewall. Nothing seems to work.
Something between your institute network and the SWISH server is blocking traffic. You said you tried from outside the firewall. Was that still from the institute?
When I tried outside the firewall, that means I tried to access outside the institute. I also confirmed this with some of my friends outside my institute.
It is possible to install it in your machine, where you can access with http://localhost.
I tried both on Win10 or Linux, however I had to be a little ‘creative’, the official instructions don’t work for my use cases. IIRC, the main problem is that we have to use https://www.swi-prolog.org/download/swish/swish-node-modules.zip (note https://). Also, I don’t use yarn, but npm… anyway, those are optional.
Still, it looks like some firewall issue. FYI, I dumped a traceroute from our US backend for www.swi-prolog.org in Oregon. That could help people knowledgeable in network issues to figure out who is blocking traffic. From 18 it enters the Dutch network.
