CodeAlly setup stuck on virtual server step

[amywinter]

I’m stuck on the virtual server step of the CodeAlly setup. The spinner just spins. I’ve refreshed and tried again several times. Also made sure to set my browser cookies to accept all. I am logged in to FCC and I do have a Github account. Browser is Chrome. I checked the CodeAlly Dashboard and it says I don’t have any projects yet. Thanks for any help.

Yes, I listed what I tried in my post. I’m on the second troubleshooting step and it says “If it still takes more than a minute or so, there may be a bigger issue, and you likely won’t be able to start the course right now. Create a forum post and let us know.” So I’m doing that.

I am having the same issue. Earlier today while working on “Build a Student Database: Part 2” I was booted from the VM and upon refreshing I started having this issue. Now at home I am getting the same results on my personal computer (was using work computer earlier). I have tried all troubleshooting steps including deleting the container from CodeAlly.

I am also having this same issue with it being stuck on the “starting virtual server”. I tried multiple browsers (Safari, Mozilla, Chrome) , also incognito in Chrome - which CodeAlly flagged me to say I needed to be in normal browsing mode. I even delete the iteration of the module from CodeAlly but it did not change the issue.

I am also having the same issue here. All is well for the last 2 weeks until this morning.

Is the problem comes from codeally?

@hbar1st
Were we able to find the issue ?
I started seeing this error this morning while yesterday it was working fine.

This issue has been on and off again for the past month. Nothing we (fCC students) can do about it on our end but wait. The only alternative is downloading all the necessary things to run it locally on your computer, but you will probably need to do the course again online once CodeAlly is back on if you want to have the course marked as completed.
