Forum is crawling again

[amenx]

I dont think its cloudfront. CF is way too big with millions of websites using it. The only problematic site I've experienced in last few weeks is AT. I think its more likely to do with ATs server configuration or some glitch from its end.

504 -- CloudFront attempted to establish a connection with the origin, but either the attempt failed or the origin closed the connection. We can't connect to the server for this app or website at this time. There might be too much traffic or a configuration error. Try again later, or contact the app or website owner.
If you provide content to customers through CloudFront, you can find steps to troubleshoot and help prevent this error by reviewing the CloudFront documentation.

Still occurring

I think we're gonna need a bigger hamster.

CloudFront CDN sucks again.

CloudFront CDN sucks again.

Pretty sure nothing to do with CF. They serve millions of other websites which I have no problem with. Only AT is the problem.

Got same error as #82. So it's anandtech's own server's problem, not CloudFront?

We've all gotten same error. Doesnt mean its a CF's issue, it could be a glitch from AT's end.

"There might be too much traffic or a configuration error. Try again later, or contact the app or website owner. "

The BBC and Bloomberg also served by CF, I dont have any issues from these sites. Nor from any other site for that matter. Its AT.

Really, it could be either at this point. We're AT, not BBC or bloomberg, who would being paying way way way more and hosting much differently than AT

 

[ch33zw1z]

Look at my tracert's last night and today, very different route to forums.anandtech.com - so CF could be having problems, trying to resolve, and traffic is affected. bottomline is there's a problem, and AT needs to work with their provider (CF) to investigate.

For myself, this has been happening since Sunday around 03:30 EST. I woke up a bit early, refreshed AT, and noticed it wasn't loading. Got up and check out some stuff....and it seemed like just the forums were affected, not anything else on my end or other external sites.

CF is just a routing service to closest edge server, if the closest edge server is down, it's down. Either the failover config is wrong, or the fail over target is also down xd.

All we really know is something is broken, somewhere, and nobody knows or cares

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

All we know if that no one is telling us if they know or care.

They may be working on it or have resolved it and don't know (or care) about this thread.

I haven't had the problem today..

 

[balloonshark]

This forum has been slow on occasion for me but I didn't start getting the 504 CF errors until yesterday. I just had issues again before this post.

Edit: So weird. The forum will grind to a halt for 15 min or so and then it will be snappy again.

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

Yup. Spoke too soon.

 

[Shmee]

Yeah I was just trying to post something about an hour ago or so, and got an oopsie, and then the whole site crashed with a 504 error.

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

Was doing good for a while, pages loading quickly.

Just got the error again though.

 

[mindless1]

I wasn't having problems as long as this topic existed, but recently having problems similar to the cloudflare problems I've had on another couple forums, where I go to edit or submit a post and it just stalls out then get the "Oops" try again popup msg.

I figured it was probably DDOS attacks related to Russia's BS.

 

[BoomerD]

504 errors keep popping up. something-something Cloudflare.

 

[sandorski]

The saga continues

forum barely working tonight, not sure if this message will post
