Website down for large parts of Technic site

[Flawedspirit]

So for some reason half the pages I try to visit on technicpack.net land me on a Cloudflare error page, due to 504 Gateway Timeouts. Specifically  pages that deal with the solder API, or creating new modpacks.

 

Can someone tell me why this is happening (and has been happening for months now) and when it'll be fixed? Thanks.

 

EDIT: Just to clarify, ports 80, 443, and 3306 are all open and listening on my server.

Nothing? From the scant amounts of literature I'm seeing online about this, apparently it's caused by a problem with the technic site not being able to reach my local solder install, but that can't be it. http://solder.flawedspirit.com/api/ works. It can connect just fine. Seriously, what is causing this?

 

EDIT: Problem solved. It was a DNS issue. IPv6 gives nginx headaches. How embarrassing.

You may be getting little response because the Technic folks themselves steadfastly avoid responding to Solder posts and, at least for my self, Solder is working perfectly fine so it is most likely that the problem is indeed on your end.

If you don't mind, could you pass on how you solved this issue? My solder setup was working fine up until about a week or two ago, "Importing" a pack to technicpack.net/modpack gives me a 500 internal server error and I have no option on my edit modpack page to link my modpack to solder.

I also use nginx, solder is heavily modified.

Sorry for the belated response. Where I went wrong was in the config file (the one located at /solder/application/solder/solder.php). You need to enter the repo location and mirror URL, and I misunderstood. I tried entering in the actual FILE SYSTEM path to said repo (/usr/share/nginx/html/blah blah blah). That's wrong, apparently they mean an internet URL.

 

So something like 'http://example.com/solder/'

 

I hope I made sense here. Don't try to install solder at 3 in the morning. It ends poorly.

Oh, uh, in relation to this, I'm not sure. It's happened to me too, adding a 1.7.10 pack I was trying to test. Ends up with a 500 error on the technic end, and trying to launch the pack from the launcher actually crashes it! So sorry I can't be of more help with that.

 

Also, make sure your platform key is pasted into the solder.php file. It says it's deprecated, but try it anyway.
