Getting 503 Service Unavailable errors

Question

Hi,

I have a few Azure Websites in EU East - it seems like as of 15:00 UTC+ 3, they are all down - if I try to navigate to them, it loads forever, and if I restart the site, I get a 503 error. Are there any Azure issues occurring?

Answer 1

I am also getting 503 Service unavailable.

Answer 2

Hi,

There was a Partial Service Interruption on websites  : As per azure status dashboard On 18 Mar 2015 from 21:50 to 22:30 UTC a subset of customers using Websites in West Europe may have encountered slower than normal performance or 503 errors due to an interruption to our network infrastructure. We have applied a number of mitigation actions and traffic is now flowing as expected.

From 17 Mar, 2015 09:00 to 17:48 UTC a very limited subset of customers using Websites in West Europe might have experienced timeouts or latency when accessing their websites. Error messages including "503" might have been experienced. Additionally, a limited subset of customers in East US may have also encountered these same errors, which were also resolved at 16:30 UTC. However, These incidents has now been mitigated

Answer 3

We are having the same issues since yesterday. By scaling down or up the Azure Website it works fine but we are still having edit/delete problems.

Answer 4

Hi,

some customers with Websites deployed in North Europe experienced the intermittent inability to access their websites and saw exceptions including Error 503 statements. Engineers have validated the results of their mitigation and customers should no longer experience issues accessing their Websites. This incident is now mitigated.

Do you still have issues with website ?
