| Summary | 20031: Maintenance mode while DB is disconnected | ||||
| Description | LS 6.x brings a feature discussed into forums, called maintenance mode. Admin are able to stop survey filling and answers collection, by altering a one configuration inside administration backend. See: 10038 When the MySQL DBMS is disconnected, not reachable, YII framework gives back a rude error 500. Application "breaks" own graphical web appeal to a ugly framework message. Although can be improved, it's correct to give back 500 error page explaining disconnection. The wrong part is missing the whole theme graphic design. Also, if application had Maintenance mode enabled, it shouldn't give back any error, also when DBMS is disconnected. Just a quiet 200 status with the maintenance page enabled. This is useful when MySQL DBMS goes offline on purpose. For example when the DB server is doing security patching | ||||
| Additional Information | In this situation, maintenance status should be kept inside config.php file. Also "default" theme data should be put inside the config file. To avoid the need of DB just for rendering the UI web layout. In final words, application should keep its graphical integrity also when DB goes boooom. More reasonable, if we claimed maintenance mode is on. Dudes, we're really upgrading the DBMS, it's maintenance time ;-) This feature would very useful in cloud environment such as kubernetes or dockerized installations. The meaning is to have application decoupled from DB while is claimed maintenance mode. | ||||
