Summary

Ref T11589. When we hit a fatal setup issue (essentially always a connection failure) after we've already survived them on at least one request, we can be pretty sure a server went down and that the problem is not a setup/configuration issue.

In this case, show a friendlier error page instead of the fairly detailed technical one.

Test Plan
  • Broke MySQL config.
  • Restarted Apache.
  • Got the "admin/setup" error page:

  • Fixed the MySQL config.
  • Loaded any page, to put us "in flight".
  • Broke MySQL config.
  • Loaded any page.
  • Got the friendly "in flight" error page:

If you want to design this better, easiest way to get to it is:

  • Set mysql.port to 9999 in conf/local/local.json.
  • Reload any page while already running (don't restart).
