CDN testing in progress

[DwarvenFood]

Cloudflare are hacks mang, been having the error, clicking blue button does not do shit, and it says cached version of this site is not available. This for main frontpage (www.rpgcodex.net) but what would you expect from a company that thinly spread with their workforce.

Yeah, sorry, I forgot to do that. Is it still relevant if the site is working for me? I'm not sure how that URL could work if the site is down, actually...

Here's what I see now:

[Taluntain]

Infinitron - likely not, you need to do both steps at the same time as the CF IP could have changed since then. That url is not a Codex url (just looks like it) so it should work even when the site doesn't. Remember to do both next time it happens for you.

 

[JarlFrank]

Yeah, I'm getting this too today, and when I do manage to connect to the codex, it's very sluggish.

Have you been getting this error in the past too, or is today the first instance? Same question for everyone else (WhiskeyWolf , JarlFrank).

Describe in as much detail as you can how often it occurs and for how long.

It was the first time, hadn't had it before. It occured first time somewhen close to evening (around 17:00 or 18:00 German time) and appeared a couple of times afterward that evening.

Curiously, refreshing didn't do anything blut clicking on "Retry for a live version of the site" brought the Codex back.

[VentilatorOfDoom]

The site loads like shit all the fucking time. Long loading times - if it loads at all - otherwise I'm getting the error from the previous page frequently or even just "an unexpected database error occured. Please try again later." This sucks donkey balls.

 

[Taluntain]

OK, now I got it too for the first time, we'll see what CF has to say.

 

[MaskedMan]

Been getting the "whats wrong?" screen a lot too.

 

[felipepepe]

Also got that, locked my door immediatly after.

 

[Taluntain]

Been getting the "whats wrong?" screen a lot too.

Yea, that's on purpose as apparently we've got a DDoS attack going on. CF seems to be doing a good job mitigating it.

What "whats wrong?" screen are you talking about? Post screenshots, random errors people mention here don't help me much.

 

[MaskedMan]

http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/cdn-testing-in-progress.77407/page-2#post-2352038 This one. Works ok now though.

Ah, if you see that, grab the info I mention here: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/cdn-testing-in-progress.77407/page-3#post-2353046

We're trying to get to to the bottom of this.

Got that too today for the first time

Also got the checking your browser thing too

 

[Luzur]

uhm, is DDoS testing my browser part of this test?

 

[Taluntain]

It is today, yes.

 

[tuluse]

I'm getting the checking your browser redirect too.

Also, the tapatalk app for android is not loading the forum right now, which is a bigger concern for me.

 

[Taluntain]

The DDoS check is only temporary until the load goes back down.

 

[Syl]

I had the DDoS screen also. It sucks cause I can't access the site with my phone (redirection doesn't work), and on my computer I have to enable Javascript for it to work. Fuck Javascript and fuck CloudFlare !

 

[DarkUnderlord]

or even just "an unexpected database error occured.

I had this too. I thought one of our new admins had fucked something up.

In the last 24 hours I've had all three:
1. Blue Button cache.
2. Unexpected database error.
3. DDoS, Redirecting in 5...

Just had 3 right now.

 

[Taluntain]

What's the "Unexpected database error", a XF error?

Edit: yea, it's basically when MySQLi goes down due to heavy load.

 

[Oriebam]

got that too
