1.2.2 API Issues

vlb804s

Since last night, about 1:50 CDT, we have everything that was working, and hasn't change, stopped working with our implementation of the 1.2.2 API. Sometimes it allows us to login, sometimes it does not. When it does, it might allow another method call, but usually doesn't. This is happening for all of our clients, who are hitting the API from different networks.

My questions are:

Did something change overnight that would have caused the API to start acting this way?
Any suggestions as to how I could troubleshoot this?

Thank you.

How about some details- site name, more about the app, etc? The helpers would need to see this.

I’ve been having the same problems (I’m using my C# framework with several apps - a C# console, a C# UI app and a C# LiveWriter extension). Sometimes it logs in and then fails at another call, at other times it doesn’t even login. It can’t be something that I changed on the framework recently as older versions of the framework, that worked just fine, now have the same strange behavior.
Looking at other posts I noticed that someone said it might be related to going to different servers and that one works and the other one doesn’t. That actually made a lot of sense as they can be configured differently. So tonight, as I got a chance, I checked it out. The same things that he said are true for me. If the server my calls hit is Apache, everything works just fine, as soon as a call goes to AkamaiGHost server, I get a "The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error". I have attached a tracer to my calls and I can give you the results if that’s of any use.
Hope this helps for a quick fix.
Thanks!

Hi.

For two days now it's all working well, all my tests run successfully and the app I use to manage my galleries also works just fine. I've let them run for some time since yesterday to make sure that they always work. As I've noticed, my API calls only hit the Apache server now.

Thanks.
