Hi folks

Just a 'heads up'

You may already be aware, or it may be something local to me, but lately I have been getting a number of  'Mahara: Site unavailable' when visisting pages at mahara.org.

Currently I can view wiki.mahara.org pages, but when try to log in get

This wiki has a problem

Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties.
Try waiting a few minutes and reloading.

(Cannot contact the database server: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: FATAL: connection limit exceeded for non-superusers)

or

(Cannot contact the database server: No database connection)

All seems to be working again!

I also ran into this problem last night.

Have the problems you've experienced been limited to the wiki or has it happened on mahara.org itself (which runs Mahara)?

Cheers,

Francois

I have experienced it as well. A few days ago I think. I often have cache issues (because I am untidy and have too much open I think) and just reloaded the page.

Both

Was getting the occasional Site Unavailable with mahara.org itself. Though usually on a page reload, or two, things displayed correctly.

Similar for viewing the Wiki. However, for a few hours, I could not log in at all to edit Wiki pages.

It turns out we had a small problem with an application holding too many database connections over the last few days. It's fixed now but we'll keep an eye on it.

Cheers,
