Centmin Mod github.com repo 504 Timeouts

Heads up seems github.com is having some issues right now with their servers returning 504 gateway timeouts for me across several of my servers. So any centmin.sh menu option 23 updates or reported github centmin mod url change prompts should be ignored (don't answer yes when prompt says github centmin mod url changed and whether you want to update it).

Code (Text):

Seems to be github.com's DNS provider is undergoing a DDOS attack https://twitter.com/githubstatus/status/789433336083001344 !

Will update folks when github.com is working again.

Update October 22, 2016

Github.com migrated to a different DNS provider GitHub System Status

They moved to using Amazon Route53 DNS

Code (Text):

dig NS +short github.com
ns-1283.awsdns-32.org.
ns-1707.awsdns-21.co.uk.
ns-421.awsdns-52.com.
ns-520.awsdns-01.net.

Alot of nginx modules and php extensions used by Centmin Mod during install/recompile use source files hosted on official Github.com repositories. So the above issue may affect properly reinstalling/upgrading php and nginx

 

GitHub System Status

 

Seems to be working again but Github status page still lists the issue so DDOS attack on their upstream DNS provider, DynDNS maybe still ongoing.

Looks like other major web sites are or were down too as they use DynDNS for their DNS provider DNS - DDOS Attack against DynDNS knocks out major sites including Github, Twitter & Reddit

DynDNS status page says it's resolved now, but DDOS attacks can come in waves, so fingers crossed !

 

DDOS attacks against DynDNS started again so more impact on Github.com and thus Centmin Mod hosted git repo code Dyn, Inc. Status - DDoS Attack Against Dyn Managed DNS

 

Github.com migrated to a different DNS provider GitHub System Status

They moved to using Amazon Route53 DNS
