Site downtime?

[Sandman]

We just had downtime on the site, for at least an hour. Just curious, do we know why it happened?

 

[mcqueccu]

I have experienced it more than 4 hours

 

[Sandman]

That's a long time, thanks for updating with a more correct period.

I experience the same. Good to see it is back to online now.

do we know why it happened?

I'm afraid no. The automatic monitor restarted several services but it didn't help. I've restarted the server after consulting with the support team and it started working. Might be an automatic update that got stuck.

This is from when I started to monitor it. Till 13 minutes ago, its more than 6 hours

I remember I answer this question in quora last week.

What program or language should I use to code an app? I want to build an app that helps people with addiction. It will be a headspace type app and this is my first app so I’m so unsure how to start. - Quora

B4x.com Down or Just Me ?

B4x down? Check whether B4x.com server is down right now or having outage problems for everyone or just for you.

it was 12 am yesterday in my time, i was replying to messages and then the website stopped working it felt so weird, like something is missing.
i want to bed, and every 5 minutes i wake up and check the website then i sent erel an email and kept on refreshing the browser for about an 1 hour or so.
first thing i did this morning is checking the B4X website before even washing my face

i guess we are all addicted to B4X

Glorious, thank you.

I imagine that the tests for the hosted builders are somewhat naïve? It's mostly a case of whether the machine responds? Not that it actually manages to build?

True, but it will still catch some of the possible failures.

You should know down causes for future avoidance.

You should know down causes for future avoidance.

In the server management world there will never be 100% known causes, there will always be something that could bring either the connection down or the whole server down.
even facebook/ youtube / google / etc... has their down times, but they fix it buy creating backup servers to keep the connection on

What a bad night I had; no, no physical pain (for once), i was missing b4x.com!

Had I had Erel's phone number, I would have woken him up in the middle of the night!
