Tomcat Not Starting, Getting 403 Error From Liquibase

OK, so now everything should be back up and running. Here’s what happened:

  • liquibase.org is hosted on WPEngine on their legacy network.
  • Yesterday (6/6) there was an outage with our site
  • The solution from WPEngine was to update our DNS to use their Advanced Network Offering
  • This brought the site back online, but broke HTTP redirects for XSDs and enabled CloudFlare security which blocks Java agents < version 10.
  • Today we reverted the DNS change back to the legacy network. I’ve tested access to the XSDs via browser, curl, and liqubase-maven-plugin and all seem to be working.
