Hello,

I'm developing a Node.JS app. When running on localhost everything works fine.

After I've deployed it to AppFog, I randomly get 503 Service Unavailable responses either for static resources (served using express.static() middleware, Express is version 3.1.0), or API calls (serving JSON documents from MongoDB). Also in console I see reported status 0%. Application logs show nothing.

I tried running single instance with 2GB of memory as well as 16 instances each with 128MB still getting 503.

Application is deployed to US East infra. It uses MongoHQ add-on.

Thank you for any help.

Regards
Jakub

Jakub,

Are you accessing the resources via HTTPS or HTTP? If you use HTTPS, then it's a know issue and AppFog is working on getting that resolved.

Yes, I use HTTPS. It has to be this issue.

It doesn't happen to me anymore. Hopefully the issue has been resolved.
