Site news: Database hick-up
by Volker Weber
The database which drives the polls went offline at 7:05 this morning which is in the middle of the night. ;-) I received a few reports that the site was hanging with error 500. Therefore I suspended the poll until the database was back online. Should be working now.

Ah, I wondered what had happened.
I even took a screenshot of the error 500 -- not seen such a thing at vowe.net before ;o)

It has happened before. It usually does when I am without Internet connectivity or while I sleep. :-)
We are trying to make it degrade gracefully now. So far I have not worried about the database going down. In the future the poll may go offline but not the site. Working on it.

Oh, also this site.
Seems to have been a number of sites affected.
