[Resolved] Is MantisBT and the wiki being inaccessible for everyone?

I am getting a Bad Gateway error when trying to browse to the wiki or MantisBT portions of gramps-project.org domain. MantisBT was accessible yesterday.

We were getting a similar error for the wiki a while ago. Maybe it is the same problem? Or a flaky piece of network hardware at our host?

It looks like we are having problems with our server again.

I used your link to gramps-project and the page took several minutes to load. From there, the link to ‘Bugs’ took even longer but again, the page did eventually load.

I gave up trying to log in to Mantis; it’s too slow to be usable.

Our webmster ( @gramps-project ) will need some time to see this thread and contact our hosting service.

Don’t give up on filing that bug. Just put the task in your backpocket for a couple days.

Investigated the issue.

External spike in website traffic looks to be automated and now blocked.


Five times the normal website traffic seems to have been an AI-bot!

Websites are working.

We seem to have a new “Verifying you are a person” test.

This “Verify you are human by completing the action below.” verification can cause problems. So inserting this troubleshooting note for future reference.

The “verify you are human” loop on Cloudflare often occurs due to browser settings or extensions interfering with the verification process. To resolve this, try clearing your browser cookies, disabling any ad blockers or privacy extensions, and using your browser’s safe mode or private browsing mode.

It is temporary and will go away soon.

The cloudflare test seems to have gone.

Thanks for the update and working on this.

That CloudFlare verification uses cookies. So will probably be periodic … until the cache expires.

It seems very slow again today.

I’m seeing this check more and more often these days. I haven’t noticed if it’s on Cloudflare every time, but yes, there are measures taken against something, AI-bot or otherwise, on the internet lately.
