Sync giving "Unknown error"

lihatt · Post by **lihatt** » 2015-05-14, 18:28

This morning (ca. 11 AM Pacific time zone) I am getting "Unknown error" in a banner across the bottom of the window when Sync attempts to sync. I've been getting it for about 30 minutes now. (Which makes it a pain to do anything in the bookmarks window as it basically hangs while the Sync status icon spins for quite a few seconds as it attempts to do whatever it's doing.) The server status page claims the server is up and running. It was working normally at least as of about 9 hours ago (time in between was sleep time for me so I don't know exactly when it started). Anyone else seeing this?

In the meantime, is there a way to pause Sync functionality so it doesn't keep trying and failing? (I feel like there used to be an option for this in Firefox, though I could be misremembering, or perhaps I am insufficiently caffeinated and just not spotting it if it does exist.)

Same thing here, though sync server reports: The Pale Moon Sync server is running and should be fully functional.

Having the same issue here.

This is the error:

and this is what I get when I click on server status:

Yes, as others above also said, the status page claims it's running normally, but still getting this error.

That isn't what it says for me.. I have also spoken to Moonchild. It is currently down but should be back up soon.

Now I see "Server incorrectly configured." I assume something is in the process of being fiddled with on the back end

The status page should not claim the server is running normal. In fact, I just brought it back online from full down state but it's still under very heavy load. expect some more errors.

I can confirm that the page indicated that all was well. Could this be some sort of caching issue?

It's back to normal now so.. yeah that would be right.
I don't know if it would be caching, because the server does not cache that page (for obvious reasons)
