Microchip forum down today?

Postby ric » Mon Aug 31, 2020 10:52 pm

After some difficulty accessing yesterday, it was ok 12 hours ago, but now it's just reporting
403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.


Even just browsing to microchip.com redirects to
Code: Select all
https://www.microchip.com/sitefinity/status?ReturnUrl=https%3a%2f%2fwww.microchip.com%2f

and says
The service is unavailable.

I had problems also, and then a couple hours ago I was able to access a recent thread and post my reply. But then it replied "Service not available". Now I can access the main page http://www.microchip.com, but when I click on "Support and Training" it redirects to https://www.microchipdirect.com/

Here we go again.
The Microchip forum was getting very sluggish 12 hours ago.
Now it's just returning
Internal Server Error - Read
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
