And then there was a blank page...

Post by admin »

Hey folks!

I'm sure you noticed the forums go kaplooey yesterday and that was a bit scary.
It is not super clear yet, what exactly broke but my best guess is that the server SSD just decided to die horribly.
As you are reading this, things seem to have been fixed, but I have yet to hear back from the host as to what was the issue.

I'll update you as soon as I know more.

For now, get back to being merry and cozy. I'm not sure if we are stable or if things go weird again, so brace for weird for the time being.

Cheers,
Duke~

Thanks, Igthorn!

The message I received, was that a configuration file was missing, and the server therefore denied all requests to protect its integrity.

Seems all is well again.

The host, fixed the issue. It was indeed a problem with the server's storage management.
So the webservice had no access to any files, didn't find the site or the .htaccess that would manage allowances and therefore presented the restrictive error.

As far as I am aware, no data was lost and the state of the site should be as it was when it went down.
