Starting up

starting

This service is being deployed or is waking up. It usually takes under a minute. This page checks again by itself.

What this means​

The service is being deployed, or is waking up after being idle, and none of its spherelets is ready to answer yet.

How to fix it​

Wait: the page checks again by itself and shows the service once it answers, usually within a minute. If it stays on this page, open the service in the console and look at its latest deploy and its logs.

Retry behavior​

Safe to retry. A browser showing this page retries by itself.

How it appears in the response​

ComputeSphere returns errors as RFC 7807 Problem Details. The type field is the docs URL for this page — switch on code in your client.

The Content-Type header is application/problem+json. On field-level validation errors a non-empty errors[] array also appears, each entry carrying its own docs_url for the offending field.
