Error connecting to database

Hi,

our forum on www.oesf.org is currently down, an “unable to connect to the database” error is shown. Can you please check if there’s any issue on the server?

Thanks and kind regards
Daniel

This was due to a high volume of traffic to one of our collections which has an XSS vulnerability. Both that collection and yours use databases on the same database host. We have blocked some IP ranges that were sending most of the traffic to that collection and are currently working with the collection maintainers to remediate the vulnerability. If this issue recurs, please let us know.

Thanks for fixing the issue, everything now works as expected. I’ll let you know if we’ll have the same issue in the future.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Hi,

Solved now, thanks!

Kind regards
