Site is down?

#1 Post by em3 »

When opening https://www.freeorion.org/ I get 500 internal server error response with the following message displayed:
Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties.

Try waiting a few minutes and reloading.

(Cannot contact the database server)
The forums are, apparently, not affected.

Will look into it. My guess is a database or Mediawiki version issue...

I see it's back up. What was the problem?

I didn't look into it until just now. I noticed that the disk space usage was exceeded, so I deleted some older backups, but that was just a few min ago. Maybe an unrelated issue on the host or with the wiki database?

Disk usage has been going up by a few MB/day for a while... not sure if that's unusual. Could be just the daily log files...
