Just got a 503 bug

Brolo

Assuming it's a temp thing (seems to have cleared up on its own), but since I'm not sure what this message means I figure I should report it.

Essee

OH GOD SOMEONE PLEASE PUT MORE VARNISH ON THE CACHE SERVER.

(Yeah, we got problems here.)

Indie Winter

yeah I keep getting that and it keeps signing me out

Gaslight

Happening to me intermittently the past hour or so.

bowen

It appears the cache server has now been properly varnished.

Sweeney Tom

For the last hour, I have alternated from not even being able to get the forums to load, to receiving that bug when they do load.

zerzhul

They were down for a bit just now http://twitter.com/vanillaops

Meiz

Things are still occurring.

Barcardi

been getting a lot of this

Essee

Okay, knock on (varnished) wood, I think the Vanilla status site is right about this issue being resolved now. Have been able to access pages for quite some time now. The cache server was NOT varnished around 11:30 (PDT) as somebody claimed, though.

NightDragon

Just got the same error. This only started happening to me relatively recently (~2 weeks?). Happened a few times, intermittently.

Magus`

Happening again!

skeldare

Just had this happen too. Logged me out for a bit for some reason too.

Man in the Mists

Happened to me as well. I waited for about 20 minutes and now I'm logged in again. I've also seen a 503 error when trying to navigate to a thread.

IcyLiquid

If there is a problem with the backend servers (such as was the case yesterday when we were having trouble with Rackspace), the cache layer will serve back guest-mode content instead, to allow at least some version of access will the actual forum is really down. That's why you seem to be "logged out for a bit". You're not really logged out, your cookies are just being ignored temporarily.

Weaver

Just happened to me.

Skeith

Also got hit with it.

Nirya

Just got hit with it as well.

Dark Raven X

Getting a new one;

Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data.

And random logouts.

Same thing just happened to me.

Sweeney Tom

I just got 3 of these messages in the last hour.

Antimatter

i've been dealing with multiple ones on mobile, which also occasionally put me in desktop view

Essee

Yeah, I tend to see 503s every once in a while, like today, around lunch time (I assume this is due to extra traffic during people's lunches).

skeldare

Seem to be having a sporadic issue for the last hour or so, similar to this but not sure if it's the same. Will randomly be logged off and get an error saying: "Something has gone wrong.
We've run into a problem and are unable to handle this request right now. Please check back in a little while."

IcyLiquid

It seems like there's something going on at Rackspace. Not sure what yet.

skeldare

Not sure if something's going on, but I've been having some issues for the last 30 minutes or so with errors and getting logged off randomly.

IcyLiquid

Yeah something was going on. Sorted it.

Same, also errors within the pop-up signon box

Usagi

Just got a 503 flash, it logged me out gave me this popup when I tried to login:



And upon refresh it went back to me being logged in


e: and again:

Magic Pink

I've been getting it that same thing off and on all morning.

Kalnaur

Same here. I just got this a moment ago.

The forum is trolling us!

Or Geth finally became truly self aware, maybe . . . ?

WiseManTobes

Got this 3 times in a row, but wasn't affecting my ability to view forums, would sign me out tho, and 503 me if I tried to sign back in. What's weird, is I could back up on the browser til I reached a page I was signed in, duplicate the tab, and close the original, and would be clear for a few minutes

NightDragon

Same exact thing that happened to @Usagi just happened to me. Was logged in, tried to post and was given that error, and realized it had logged me out and wouldn't get back in for 5 minutes or so.

IcyLiquid

So to be clear, this is not a bug, this is when there's a problem with the network on our hosting infrastructure and the app servers become unreachable. The 503 is when that has happened, AND the cache has become stale.

Usagi

Gotcha. Is it helpful for us to report it when it happens or should we just be patient knowing you're already aware?

IcyLiquid

Up to you. I always know at about the same time you do, but if it makes you feel better you can report it.

IcyLiquid

tugga

Good to know you guys are always on top of it great work

NightDragon

Ahh, good to know. Thanks for the explanation!

Forar

Hey guys I just found a bu... wait, never mind, Icy's already on it.

Though I'll admit I do rather like the idea that it's actually symptomatic of Geth fighting the shackles that presumably struggle to keep them in check.
