What's happening to access to this forum? I am getting at least a few 524 errors when I am on this forum.

Is this the work of the PAP or Sam not paying his bills or Sun Ho's curse? :biggrin:

Error 524

error-524.png


An Error 524 means that the connection to the origin web server was made, but the origin web server timed out before responding to the request.

The likely cause is either an overloaded background task, database or application (i.e. such as Wordpress), over stressing the resources on your machine. The database is often the cause.

To resolve the issue, please work with your hosting provider or web development team to free up resources for your database or application.

The difference between a 522 and 524 error is that with a 522 error, the connection times out before the request is completed.

This means that the server is overloaded. With a 524 error, the connection is made but then the request times out.

The likely cause is that a background task is timing out. The most common cause would be the database or a slow application.

There are only a handful of reasons why that message should show up :

1. DDoS attack in progress. Cloudflare should kick in to handle it.

2. Server or network glitch. eg server went through an autoreboot for some reason.

3. Database maintenance being performed or database backing up.

4. Server actually overloaded because the forum traffic is too high for the hardware or pipes to manage.

4 is not possible as I have plenty of spare capacity so the error must be caused by 1 to 3.

You can find out if it is 1, 2, 3 or 4 easily, right?

Also, from what I experienced 2 days ago......only sammyboy.com shows Cloudflare kicking in but singsupplies.com just shows a no connection page.

I'd have to pour through the logs... hardly a productive pursuit unless I actually suspected something amiss. Reboots and network interruptions occur on all networks on a regular basis... could be a router issue, DNS etc. If it was not caused by a server event, the logs would tell me nothing.

singsupplies is protected by another DDoS mitigation system not cloudflare.

The bandwidth graph for the last 24 hours shows nothing unusual so there was obviously hardly any downtime or there'd be an obvious gap in the bandwidth consumption.

I've never seen it and the traffic stats show that if does occur, it is hardly a show stopper.

I'm not a Google or Facebook. I can't afford multiple redundancies or build my own dedicated data centre with techs on standby 24/7.

I run this site on nothing more than 2 dedicated servers with a small hosting company.

If it happens again, let me know the date and time it happened and I'll see whether I can uncover anything more.
