Hi, as you can see from the status page in the past 2 days Heroku had a lot of problems that resulted in "Timeout connection" and "Backlog Too Deep" error pages. This two pages have a message specifically addressed to the administrator that is not acceptable in a production site. We need to have personalized pages. Same logic about the Heroku Ouchie Page of course!
If this is not possible immediately a quick hack could be to have a really generic "white-label" page (multilingual would be appreciated) and put all the system message in an html comment. We are tech guys, right? Is not a problem to look at the source to find out what is happening. This seems clever that show a ugly error message to everyone. Finally as I already suggested in another discussion: A simple solution for more personalization without the need to access any preferences could be to have a full page iframe inside the heroku's error page pointing to http://error.<heroku_app_domain.tld>/<http_error>.html The admin has to create a third/fourth level domain, point it to a different server and create the personalized pages. So every application can have an error page/backup application to handle the down. A js can check for the domain existence and switch to a plain txt message if it is not set. I'd love to get feedback on these ideas by Heroku guys. Thank you. Daniele -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Heroku" group.
