Was DU down for others past hour? I got following error message, tho downforeveryoneorjustme.com

[hlthe2b]

said it was JUST ME...


I kept getting:

no connection: Query failed: SELECT * FROM forums WHERE parent IN ('1001', '1004', '1239') AND status = '1'

[still_one]

1. It was down for everyone. A database issue

[hlthe2b]

[annabanana]

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. It WAS down...........and now it's back!

[malaise]

12. Same here

PHEW

[Gothmog]

13. DU was down

[unblock]

15. downforeveryone and the like aren't perfect

basically they just ping the website and make sure they get a response. they don't know if the response is a good one or not, they just assume if they get a response, the website is "up".

technically, that's correct, it's just not the answer one is usually looking for.

[guillaumeb]

33. I understood nothing of what you wrote.

But are you saying this was a software error that had nothing to do with DU and it is an interface problem?

[unblock]

34. it was essentially a software error on du's side.

du's software was operational, but it wasn't doing what it was supposed to be doing.

[guillaumeb]

35. Thank you, and skinner's message also just arrived. eom

[wcmagumba]

16. I've been expecting another attack to the site...

hope the guard is on DEFCON 1, the thug/Ruskies hate this site...

[anneboleyn]

24. Yes, they do, and they will bombard this site with Russian hacking shit to take it down, especially

at times like this so yes I also hope we have serious security measures in place. We KNOW that people, including major dems, visit this site, so it needs to be protected.

[Croney]

17. Yes, I got same message.

I went to the DU Facebook page but didn't see any new posts. If DU is down a long time, is that where we would look for info?

[tblue37]

20. There were several relevant comments under the Trump tinfoil hat post. nt

[tblue37]

18. Yep. And on the DU Facebook page several others commented on the problem, too. nt

[Croney]

23. They did? I must not be seeing posts.

I wonder why I saw no comments there.

Edit: Oh I see them now under the tinhat picture.

[Princess Turandot]

25. People asked about the problem in replies to the most recent post (on Trump-tinfoil)...nt

[montanacowboy]

21. Yes

couldn't figure out what happened

[anneboleyn]

22. Down for me w/same error message

[Buckeye_Democrat]

26. I visited the same site to check and received the same "just you" answer.

I even used a proxy server to see if I was inexplicably blocked!

A quick check of DU's Facebook page revealed it wasn't just me.

[underthematrix]

27. Gor same message so yes down for me too

[RKP5637]

28. Yep, same message on DU, even doing google searches, always about the same. n/t

[smirkymonkey]

29. Yes, down for me.

[drm604]

30. Skinner posted about it.

It was due to a configuration change, not hackers.

[LisaL]
