The Capital Development Authority’s (CDA) website became inaccessible on Wednesday after a technical fault appeared, displaying a PHP error message instead of the homepage.
The error message indicated that the website’s hosting server had “no space left on device,” suggesting that the system’s storage capacity had been exhausted, causing the public interface to fail. Here is what the error looked like.
The issue prevented users from accessing key online services, including property record searches, complaint submission portals, and development-related information. Technical experts say such errors occur when website servers are not regularly maintained or when log and cache files consume storage space.
The website is now up and running again, but CDA officials have not issued a statement regarding the disruption or explained the reason why it occurred.
The CDA had earlier announced steps to digitize its land records and automate citizen services, but the website crash highlights the need for improved server capacity and technical oversight.
they didn’t bother to turn off the debug mode in production.
