What is 'Failed to Grant Capabilities'?

I was doing the 'Peace on Earth' grid hunt earlier and tried to teleport to the next location.
I kept getting the 'Failed to Grant Capabilities' and I couldn't find this in Knowledge Base.
I tp'd to a neighboring sim without any problems.
Then tried flying or walking into the sim, couldn't cross over to it at all.

Has anyone else ever encountered this before?

Thanks to all who respond to my question.

Sounds like a problem with the sim at a guess. Never seen that message before either I don't think. Personally I'd try a relog to see if that fixes it and if not just try visiting again another day.

Perhaps try notifying support, either live chat or submit a ticket.

Every sim has a capabilities server (don't know what it does) that I believe runs http protocol and when you log on, tp to, or otherwise enter a region, your browser connects to the region's capabilities server (aka CAPS server).

If the CAPS server for the region is down, or if it has a DNS problem, that would prevent you from entering the region.

Or maybe the sim is restricted. Kind stupid to host a grid wide hunt with a restricted sim.

Yeah that must be it *chortle*

Try contacting support with a ticket and specify the region and that it's down. That's what I did and my home region is fine now. They responded within 5 minutes.

Thanks everyone for your answers.

I had no problem teleporting into the sim in question today(Friday).
I have a feeling that there were a number of tickets filed yesterday on this problem.

If I run into this ever again, I'll immediately file a ticket on the glitch.

Happy Holidays to all!
