British Airways Virtual offline?

Featured Replies

Hi everyone,

 

Has anyone got a clue on what's going on with British Airways Virtual? The website and the servers are offline for a while now which isn't normal I suppose.

 

Cheers

Bart

Looks like some sort of a database error. Hope all is ok, BAW web is usually quite robust.

Unfortunately, yes.

Looks like BAV is working on it as I now get a server error and not a CDB Exception error.

The website is up and running again!

  • 2 months later...

Today see the same error (15/5)

 

CDbException

CDbConnection failed to open the DB connection.

It's been down since early this morning CST. I was just getting ready to push back for my OMDB-EGLL 777 flight. When I went to start Phoenix, it wouldn't connect to the server.

I managed to get in the forums earlier for 2 mins and that was it, they've been down for the rest of the day. 

 

Hope its not too serious.
