Minecraft Forums

Please help! First It was all ok, then the server gets a Java error for an internal exception. Sure, but when I relog on 7 different servers, I get the following message:

Failed To Login: Java.io.IOExeption: Server returned HTTP response code: 503 for URL

http//session.minecraft.net/game/server.jsp?user=thelegendofgames&sessionId=488562512254611(can't read) (random letters)

Me and like 5 of my friends are having the same thing.

It's only the first day of the month and we're already having issues with mojang...

It's late, I doubt Mojang would want to work on Minecraft.

I had the same thing, glad that I have others with me, cheers to whoever is okay.

Go to help.mojang.com, Something about there Multiplayer Session is messed up. Hopefully it will be fixed by tomorroww

and for those interested in what the error means.... I have copied and pasted this from the definitions of errors from the W3.org site.

503 Service Unavailable

The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. The implication is that this is a temporary condition which will be alleviated after some delay. If known, the length of the delay MAY be indicated in a Retry-After header. If no Retry-After is given, the client SHOULD handle the response as it would for a 500 response.
Note: The existence of the 503 status code does not imply that a
server must use it when becoming overloaded. Some servers may wish
to simply refuse the connection.


Thats the definition of a 503 error.

Thank you for flying mojang airlines.. heheh
