1: Error 503 when trying to open our Noticeboard page.
Posted by PeteMorris on 18/03/14 09:37

I tried to add a couple of noticeboard entries this morning. The first entry added OK, but the second entry didn't add and eventually came up with an 'Error 503'.

Now when I try to open the noticeboard page, it just hangs for ages before finally coming up with 'Error 503, Varnish cache server, Guru Meditation, XID: 2006363979'.

 

Help!

The noticeboard app was struggling with all the complex HTML in the results table you'd posted.

I've fixed the problem so now it works fine - though the layout of the tables still seems to be causing a bit of a problem. However there's nothing really I can do about that as it's just down to the content on the page.

I'd suggest that for complex results tables like those you might be better off uploading as a PDF file in the Assets Library and linking to it, rather than trying to display it all on the page.

Either way - thanks for reporting the problem!
