Is the https://users.scala-lang.org/ site down?

I get the following message upon opening the link:

Oops

The software powering this discussion forum encountered an unexpected problem. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Detailed information about the error was logged, and an automatic notification generated. We’ll take a look at it.

No further action is necessary. However, if the error condition persists, you can provide additional detail, including steps to reproduce the error, by posting a discussion topic in the site’s feedback category.

The console (F12) says:

GET
https://users.scala-lang.org/
[HTTP/2 500  190ms]

Is this happening to anyone else ?

It seems a bug after updating discourse, it works after clearing caches. Not sure if we can fix that. Unless we would downgrade to the previous version :thinking:

The issue is here Users forum is unreachable (error 500) · Issue #1947 · scala/scala-lang · GitHub

There is a bug report here: Users forum is unreachable (error 500) · Issue #1947 · scala/scala-lang · GitHub

It was discovered that if you clear your whole website cache it works again, but it requires you nuking history, cookies etc for a whole website. I discovered that it works, but when I close the tab and reopen it, the issue returns, so at least I would have to do it every time (clear cache, log in, read/post, repeat).

I have the same issue for the Scala Users and Teachers forums, but not the Contributors forum for some reason.

On the GH issue there’s a comment by fsalvi, that contributors.scala-lang.org was not updated when it was discovered that users.scala-lang.org has this issue (and that downgrade is not an option).

Yes, I saw the problem again this time after trying again to update discourse. I don’t have much log except this “500 Internal Server Error” in rails. I’ll report this problem to discourse.
I didn’t update contributors.scala-lang.org, so this one is still running the previous version.

It’s not possible do downgrade (and also for security reasons), only to update.
