When I try to access my application from following url:

http://apps.facebook.com/nurmijarvi/

It says:
"Error while loading page from nurmijarvi.net
The URL http://nurmijarvi.net/ did not respond.

There are still a few kinks Facebook and the makers of nurmijarvi.net are trying to iron out. We appreciate your patience as we try to fix these issues. Your problem has been logged - if it persists, please come back in a few days. Thanks!"

How ever, if I try to enter any subpages that I have available, for example:

http://apps.facebook.com/nurmijarvi/news/messenger-vs-irc

That page shows correctly (well there are FBML errors, but that's a different issue, right?).

The front page of the site is located at:

http://nurmijarvi.net/

The fb_fbml theme is enabled (even though it doesn't have to?) and it can be seen from the blocks section.
When the above error is given by facebook when you try to enter the frontpage, there's no access attempt in the Apache access logs.

The "did not respond" error is common, and a frequent problem for facebook app developers using any platform. Usually if you try again, the request will succeed.

It means facebook timed out waiting for your server to respond. The timeout is short, so facebook apps should be on fast servers and should perform well.

Try again and see if your front page loads. If it truly never loads, it could be that your front page takes significantly longer to be served than the other pages. Or, there could really be an error preventing that page from responding (i.e. running out of memory).

Yes this seems to be the issue! When I reduced the amount of posts to be shown on the first page, then it was shown in the Facebook as well. Thanks for your fast reply btw.
