Jim M Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 This would likely be something which you are performing as you are getting caught by the firewall and getting temporarily blocked. Are you running something perhaps from the same IP address as yourself which is running into errors or making a lot of requests? This could be maybe a feed reader, local code hitting the API, or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, my site on CiC and I'm the only one using it with nothing else going on in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would want to check if you have an RSS feed readers from your computer pointed to your community, anything like that which may be creating errors or lots of requests. If this does not meet your usage, we would need to know what you're doing. Are you posting something specific which always gets blocked and then you can't do anything else? Are you trying to run an upgrade, third party install, etc... and it's failing? As this is happening right now specific to you, we need more information about what is happening.

WebCMS Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 Not using any RSS feeds or client apps. I was submitting an article to save. I was trying to log into ACP. Any form submission was running into the same error. If I clicked Edit Article, it would load the form with data but submitting the modified article would run into the error. Same issue with ACP login form. It's working now. I got these same errors in the past too when submitting edited pages and articles but today the errors were excessive and could not proceed.

Could you please provide a link to the articles? It may be that they contain something which we no longer allow or accidentally disallowed in our firewall rules so would need to be reviewed. Otherwise, you may run into it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WebCMS Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 As it works now, I was able to resubmit the articles with the minor changes and no issues. So this may not have to do with the firewall rules. Marc Stridgen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WebCMS Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 It resolved itself after a few hours. I did not do anything to resolve it as I'm on CiC and not much is in my control as far as hosting is concerned. Marc Stridgen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This needs to be resolved as it is giving a very bad UX that is not manifest in self-hosted environments.
