Why no login from RPi to RPi forums?

Mon Feb 25, 2019 3:42 pm

I have been attempting to visit the forums since my last visit. I normally use Raspberry Pi systems as my computers, and thought that the site had been down.

Since my last visit every attempt to visit raspberrypi.org regardless of page, has returned an HTTP 500 error (with no server page, just generic handled by browser error).

Today I finally tried from a Windows 10 device, and logged in without issue. Also tried today with a clean Raspbian install on the RPi 3B+ to see if there was something wrong with all of my RPi OS's, still got an HTTP 500.

I really do not care for Windows 10, and my PC can not boot ReactOS.

Is this just happening to me, or is it a known issue? I finally got back to the forums, and then was unable to say anything for over a month.

No problems for me accessing the home page and forums from my Pi 3B, Raspbian Stretch, Chromium 65.

Logging in to the forum and displaying forum pages (as a not logged in viewer) are two different things. Is you problem with the first or the second or both?

I always use my RPi3B+ (with Raspbian Stretch Desktop) to login to this forum

Didnt encounter any problems for the past few months running....

Edit:
While submitting the post above, I did encounter a "server error".... but quickly returned to the forum and displayed the post above.

Seems to be working fine for me as well.

  • Raspberry Pi 3B+ (in Flirc Gen2 case).
  • Official RPi Universal Power Supply.
  • SanDisk Ultra A1 32GB micro SD card.
  • Raspbian Stretch (recently updated) connected to 5GHz WiFi.
  • Chromium 65.0.3325.181 (Official Build) Built on Raspbian , running on Raspbian 9.8 (32-bit)
  • ASUS RT-AC68U router (Frontier FiOS).

Did this post with my Pi using VNC remote desktop.
My mind is like a browser. 27 tabs are open, 9 aren't responding,
lots of pop-ups...and where is that annoying music coming from?

The issue was with any OS running on any Raspberry Pi. As it was a server error, I am thinking it may have been either my ISP or my router.

After playing in Windows 10 on an x86 based useless computer, it did its update 1809 (it had been a while since I had booted that machine), and lost sound, network, the secondary drive (D: drive) that I install all of my software on, and one of its display drivers. It would not recover from its losses.

In attempting to check the network with the Windows 10 machine I reset the router (to no avail). Now I am typing this on Raspbian running on a Raspberry Pi 3B+.

Do not know if it is the result of my ISP's DNS miss-routing for a short time, and the cached copies in my router remembering the incorrect routing for a bit longer. Or possibly just a corrupt cached DNS entry in my router. Also not sure how Windows 10 got around the error.

Though now everything works. And I have one more reason to avoid x86 boxes. For n*x OS's I have ARM based computers, for RISC OS ARM is the only option, for play OS's ARM is a lot easier to deal with than x86. Only systems to run on x86 are DOS, Windows, NT (like windows 10), OS/2, and MenuetOS/KolibriOS none of which I have any real use for.

I am thankful that everything is working correctly now.

Whatever the problem was is solved now, thanks to Windows NT 10 losing its mind on me.
