Unable to access phpMyAdmin (free.fr) Solved

Question

Hello.
I have been managing a website on free.fr's personal pages for several years using the phpMyAdmin database.
Until this morning, I had no issues, but suddenly I can no longer connect to the database, and the connection requests in PHP are being refused.
Are there other users in the same situation?
Thank you.

Same problem and Free replied to me this morning that it's a general issue and that it should be resolved by the end of the day. Still nothing at 7:50 PM.

Hello, Back to normal this morning... Thanks everyone for your feedback. Now, let's quickly export the database and migrate.

dbnet · Answer

Phew... Back to normal for me too. I'm rushing to save everything. Thank you.

Jacques · Answer

Same here, but we'll never know the source of the problem. They were supposed to call me back, but still nothing, so since it works this way, I suppose no one will call back. I'm going to migrate my sites elsewhere.

BrianFR · Answer

I have the same problem :'( Server: perso169-g5.priv.free.fr

jimedeu · Answer

The last reported malfunction of this type occurred around May 7.

It disappeared on May 9, with no explanation from Free, returning to normal...

Outage, maintenance???

If possible, please be patient; the current one will likely disappear on Monday or Tuesday.

Good luck!!!
