Did anybody else get a gateway error that lasted almost 17 minutes?

[niyad]

They happened several times earlier today, but for a few seconds only.

[FalloutShelter]

1. Yes. I did.

Just came back to see your post.

[rurallib]

2. Oh yeah - could hardly move until just a minute or so ago

[leftieNanner]

3. Yep. Nt

[diane in sf]

4. Yes

[Ocelot II]

5. Yup, for a few minutes.

[democrank]

6. Yes, just as you described

[mahatmakanejeeves]

7. I thought it was in honor of your birthday.

Yeah, I had it too.

[niyad]

9. That would NOT be a nice thing for my birthday!

[rsdsharp]

8. Yes.

[riversedge]

10. yes, I did and just now am back and saw your post.

[applegrove]

11. I did. 7:15 PM EST April 29 2024

[niyad]

14. Mine went from 5:04 to 5:21 mountain time.

[Deuxcents]

16. Yes

Is today your birthday, niyad?

[niyad]

43. Yes, it is. Mine, and Willie Nelson, and DU'er Faux Pas.

[Deuxcents]

50. I found your birthday post just a little while ago

So I’ll send my birthday wishes again as I was late to the party! 🎉 Don’t know about you, but these days I celebrate all week! Wishing you a healthy and happy birthday on your special day 🫶

[niyad]

52. Awww, thank you. I celebrate for an extended period, depending

on various schedules, and the fact that Beltaine is in two days, and several friends also have birthdays right around mine. Any reason to celebrate works for me.

And I almost firgot, DU'er Capt. America also has a birthday today.

[Deuxcents]

57. When I was in elementary school, we used to celebrate May Day

We’d dress up and have a fun time at recess and wrap colorful ribbons around a post..probably the tetherball post. I’m thinking that’s the closest I’ve been to celebrating Spring and/or festivities like Beltaine…I just looked it up and once again, I’ve learned something new, even tho I’ve barely touched the subject. So, as with your birthday, I wish you the joy that all the rituals and traditions you celebrate bring you this time of year 🌾

[niyad]

62. Awwwww, thank you for those lovely wishes. I have to giggle, because,

if your teachers had known what those Maypole dances represent. . .

Learning about the Wheel of the Year, and what each of the celebrations means is endlessly fascinating. This is one of the many blessings of DU. . .there is always somethi g bew to learn, in almost any field imaginable.

[keithbvadu2]

12. Yes

[JohnSJ]

13. Yup

[SweetT]

15. Outage

We had an outage here or a freeze up that stated it was a 504 Gateway error. I cannot recall ever seeing such a page before. It did eventually clear up and access was restored. It did seem to be only on DU. Our outage was around 3:00 Central, I believe.

[MOMFUDSKI]

17. Yes.

Very unusual

[surfered]

18. Yes

[Mme. Defarge]

19. Oui!

[ornotna]

20. Happened to me about 10 minutes ago

Only lasted a few minutes though. Seems to be ok now.

[edbermac]

21. Yeah a few minutes ago

Also moving a little slow

[Raven123]

22. Yes

[MustLoveBeagles]

23. Yes

[moniss]

24. Yep

[catbyte]

25. Yes. I tried not to freak out after what happened in 2016. I'm glad it only lasted a few minutes.

[niyad]

45. That was my first thought as well!

[EarlG]

26. I've observed this happening on and off since around 5pm ET

Currently the diagnosis is "network gremlins" but we're looking into it... I have a ticket open with DU's service provider so we'll see if they can give us any more details.

[BigmanPigman]

39. Thanks!

[mahina]

47. Thank you

Very much!

[niyad]

48. Thank you, EarlG and Elad. Have to admit, some of us still have

flashbacks to 2016.

[marble falls]

27. Just got back on. The message indicates it's an error from DU.

[Deuxcents]

28. Yes. Happened earlier and I thought it was my carrier..it goes on n off every so often

But if we all are getting shut down..hmmmm

[Think. Again.]

29. Yep, but it was earlier this evening...

...I thought it might be my own internet or device but other sites I tried worked fine.

And a few minutes ago there some short delay in switching threads.

[frogmarch]

30. Yes

I don't know how long it was before I could connect to DU, but I am pretty sure it was at least 17 minutes.

[GB_RN]

31. Yup

Sure did.

[PatrickforB]

32. I did earlier, but not now. n/t

[denbot]

33. Yes

[TeamProg]

34. Nope.

[tornado34jh]

35. I did for at least 20 minutes

My area doesn't have the best internet. There have been some solar flares, but nothing major, only reaching M1-M3 range (moderate), but usually it affects the shortwave frequencies (30 MHz or below).

[BigmanPigman]

36. Yes, it drove me nuts.

I thought it was my tablet or my internet connection. I tried to trouble shoot it but with my limited tech know-how I couldn't figure it out. I'm glad it wasn't just me. It was longer than 17 minutes.

[c-rational]

37. Yes.

[Warpy]

38. It's been happening over the last couple of days

Apparently, DU has atracted attention again.

Good work, all.

[niyad]

53. I had observed that also.

[llmart]

40. Yes, about 20 minutes ago.

[Delmette2.0]

41. Yes, twice.

First about 1:00 this afternoon.
Second a little after 7. I had just clicked on this to say yes and got locked up. The second didn't seem to last as long.

[Marthe48]

42. Yes

Seems okay now

[mountain grammy]

44. Happened a few times

then a neighbor came over and I closed my laptop.. good. I don't need that stress.

[mahina]

46. Yes

[WmChris]

49. Yes

Tried to get in to no avail earlier.

[captain queeg]

51. Yup. Don't know how long it lasted but it was clear when I came back.

[Demovictory9]

54. Yep

[ZZenith]

55. I did, yes.

Thanks for bringing it up.

[niyad]

56. You are most welcome. It is always a relief to know one is not alone.

[canetoad]

58. I was just coming to post this

I've had several time-outs this morning. Each time Cloudflare said it was DU at fault. Thanks for posting this. I've been doing things, so haven't been at the computer the whole time.

I've just read the thread, so on edit: HAPPY BIRTHDAY

[Bev54]

59. Yes for several minutes.

[TeamProg]

60. YES!!

[intheflow]

61. I just hit it around 11 - 11:20pm, EST.

Back in the day, DU had a panic room for when the site went down or was as attached. Maybe it was a Yahoo chat room? I can’t remember. Would have been nice to have that lifeline tonight!
