Unable to start Bluemix MobileFirst services starter app - ibm-cloud

I have created a MobileFirst starter app on the Bluemix platform. I am using the default code generated on an app creation. On app start, cf logs <appname> shows
ERR Instance (index 0) failed to start accepting connections
Is there any issue with the US-South region?
What could be causing this issue?

We are not aware of any ongoing issue in US South as you can see on the Bluemix Status Page. I've just tried to create a new application using the MobileFirst Services Starter (leaving all the default settings): I'm able to see the example "HelloTodo" page and there are no errors in the logs. I used both the Classic UI and the "New Experience" UI. I suggest you to try again, it should work.

Error Accessing Bluemix Node-RED Editor

I'm using Node-RED Starter to build my app. My app URL can be accessed here.
should appear on my browser, but I got an
instead.
The app however seems to be working fine on my dashboard. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you.
Your app is throwing a 500 error which basically means that your app is very much broken. How did you build it? Which starter did you use?
As you are running in the IBM Cloud, I would drop what you already have, and recreate using the starter from the IBM Cloud catalog. Unless of course if that is what you used to create it in the first place. In which case as per the other suggestions look at the server side logs, from the options on IBM Cloud for your application.

Securing a Node Red GUI on IBM WATSON Cloud

I've got a Node-RED Dashboard running on Bluemix, but I want to secure it using the standard Node-RED security, i.e., editing the settings.js file.
Does anyone know how I can actually access this on BlueMix?
On the IBM Cloud dashboard for your application you need to enable the Continuous Delivery feature. That will get you a git repository containing the application code which you can edit in your browser and have changes automatically deploy back into your running application.
You will then need to edit the file called bluemix-settings.js to add the required settings to secure the Node-RED dashboard.

IBM Internet of Things Platform Starter application create fails with BXNUI0005E

I am trying to create an application in IBM Internet of Things Platform Starter and getting following message:
BXNUI0005E: The 'xxxxxx' app wasn't created because a problem occurred contacting Cloud Foundry.
Try again later. If you see this message again, go to the IBM Cloud status page to check whether a service or component has an issue. If the problem continues, go to IBM Cloud Support.
I've had exactly the same problem. It's usually because you've gone over the limit of app / database instances for your account.
In my case, I was using NodeRed. I created one instance successfully, deleted it, but then couldn't create another. It turned out that the first app had created an empty database instance and the second one was trying to do the same. Deleting the database from my dashboard resolved the problem.

Bluemix Cloud Auto Scaling Service Crashed our Running Watson App now

Our Watson app based on Dialogue Service was running this morning, and this app has many users. Then I saw your 2017 DevOps tutorials video on Youtube on using Auto Scaling Service to scale web apps on Bluemix. Then I connected our this Watson app with the Auto Scaling app. Then, right way, this watson app is crashed. So, I tried to unbind this Auto Scaling App from this Watson app, but it cannot be done. So, I had to delete this Auto Scaling Service from this Watson app.
After that, this Watson app cannot be started. Hope that Bluemix cloud team and Auto Scaling Service team reply here soon. If anybody also have got such horrible experiences with the Bluemix cloud Auto Scaling Service, I also like to hear some input from you. Thank you !
In the past week I have seen similar issues, and the culprit might be the auto-scaling service. The culprit might also be the new Diego deployment (as opposed to the old DEA droplets). Take a look at the Diego documentation. I have not had the time yet to fully debug this, but I went out and diabled Diego for my app and then attempted to redeploy. This allowed me to bring my app up successfully - now I still need to figure out WHY it has problems, since we will be forced to migrate to Diego at some point.
I would guess that the problem is not with the AutoScaling service. Cloud Foundry in Bluemix recently upgraded to the Diego architecture. Your application might need some changes to work with Diego. Binding any service to an applciation will trigger a restage which might have caused this update.
Currently, you can disable diego to see if this resolves your application crash.
$ cf disable-diego APPLICATION_NAME
$ cf start APPLICATION_NAME
Try this.
Then deploy your app under a new name and gather the logs cf logs APPLICATION_NAME --recent

How to deploy web application onto Google App Engine

This may be a vague question but I have been unable to find any help/tutorials specific to my situation and am stuck.
I have built a website using Eclipse (Dynamic Web Project.) I then deployed this application using Tomcat and can see it by going to localhost, however, I am struggling on how to actually deploy it to the cloud.
I am trying to use Google App Engine but am open to other (free) alternatives for deploying my web application.
With Google App Engine, I registered for an account, made a new project, connected it to my github repository and confirmed the correct code is listed.
However, when navigating to project_id.appspot.com (mine is http://mapp-development.appspot.com) I get a 404 error.
I have attempted various deployments and even made an entirely new Google Web Application Project in Eclipse for testing which worked but weirdly deployed to http://1-dot-mapp-develop.appspot.com/ and is the test files which I do not know how to correctly modify.
Is there any way to upload/deploy my existing web application to Google App Engine (as a .war or otherwise)?
I am new to web development and apologize for any unclear specifications. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: I have also tried (in Eclipse) right clicking the project and choosing "Deploy to App Engine" under Google however it states "mapp-website is not an App Engine project".
Edit2: I had a stupid mistake, I confused my Project ID (mapp-development) and app id (mapp-develop). I am able to successfully make a new Google web project and deploy it to mapp-develop.appspot.com
Sorry for the trouble!
Here are three ways to deploy:
Make an App Engine project in Eclipse
Deploy via Git
Deploy via GitHub
It seems like you tried #1 with a project named 1-dot-mapp-develop. If you select deploy from Eclipse, a dialog box will pop up with a link to "App Engine Project Settings" where you can change the project name (to mapp-development and version).
