Maintenance Window: 12 AM Pacific Time, Saturday June 17

In the very early morning of Saturday June 18, PBworks will be unavailable for up to one (1) hour while we perform a scheduled upgrade, starting at 12:00 AM Pacific Time (3 AM Eastern/7 AM UTC). During this time, the PBworks service will be offline; you won’t be able to log in, nor will you be able to access your site.

It Works!

This morning some users logged in to find their workspace URL resolve to an old welcome page, which looked like this:

—

It works!

This is the default web page for this server.

The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.

We have resolved the issue.  User content was never compromised and service should be fully functional, now.  If you see this message or one similar, please perform a page refresh and if this does not resolve it, contact Support at support@pbworks.com with the workspace URL.

May 21 Investigation

Starting around 12:00 AM Pacific Time on the morning of Saturday, May 21, the PBworks service was down for an extended period of several hours.

This is the longest downtime the service has ever experienced. Fortunately, it occurred on a weekend, but it still inconvenienced many of our customers and users. If you were one of those people, we sincerely apologize.

Our Engineering, Operations, and Support teams worked continuously through the incident to restore service, including resources who traveled onsite to our data center.  Since then, we have been investigating potential causes of the incident so that we can prevent it from happening again.

We know that many of you rely on us on a daily basis, and we pride ourselves on the reliability of PBworks. This fell far short of our standards, and we will keep working to provide the high level of reliability that you’re accustomed to receiving from PBworks.

Sincerely,
The PBworks Team
