Workspace Unavailable?

I keep getting this error every time I try and preview my workspace.

"This is a preview link for a Treehouse Workspace that is not currently active. If you are the workspace owner, you can launch it again via the Treehouse site."

I am making sure to save, my workspace is in fact open. My connection seems perfectly fine. I don't get it D:

Hi Dani,

Sorry you're having issues. We looked into it and your workspaces appear to be behaving correctly right now. There may have been an issue when you tried it, and we're looking into that.

Let us know if you still have trouble connecting, it should be working now.

I am having the same issue right now :(

Timothy Parenteau Gavin Wilkie - Are the workspaces you are using either "Static" or "PHP" workspaces? If you are using a python or ruby workspace, there is no server running by default for the preview.

I still get this issue. Ive been waiting for over 3 months and still not able to preview any of my work spaces. Can we please get this resolved.

I'm experiencing the same problem... I launched Workspace again and again and keep getting "This is a preview link for a Treehouse Workspace that is not currently active. If you are the workspace owner, you can launch it again via the Treehouse site."

Static for myself too

Its all working fine now but not was pretty annoying when I had time set a side for training but couldn't use the workspace. Hopefully it will all be fine from now on.

My workspace shows " TIME OUT" but the connection seems great :(

What happened?

Same issue here, was working fine earlier but getting the same error message as everyone above - any ideas why?

same issue, workspace unavailable :-(

If you are following the how to make a website track make sure to select a PHP environment for your workspace.

I'm also getting this message. This was the case with every python/flask workspace that I have worked on. I just download the workspace materials and work on them on my desktop, since this functionality seems to be broken.

Looking at the "Inspect Element" info in Chrome I also found Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 502 (Bad Gateway) http://port-8000-nc4e2ud2i5.treehouse-app.com/ Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 502 (Bad Gateway)
