HTTP 500 Errors Again


I was on the Instance off and on last night at work on breaks. When I got home I noticed the site was down again due to a HTTP 500 Error. I have done some more massaging to the php-fpm config though I will need to get some rack before I can dig into it and find out what optimum setting would be for my server giving its memory.

Sorry for any inconveniences still trying to tune the server. I am not sure at all how long the server has been down.

I know that it went down around 8:30pm Central, which is about when I'm playing hashtag games, which places me as Prime Suspect as to why, I'm afraid.

Oh--I also typically select Global, Other Servers; not sure if that helps either.

Yeah.. I'm scrutinized script-code 0 at line 1337. So it's not me neither.

Here it is hours later, as I post this comment, that it just now occurs to me that "HTTP 500 errors" in Friendica might very well be analogous to the "Internal Server error 500" I keep running into on the Mastodon instance Qoto. Previous snags on that is the main reason I thought I might be at fault here because my accessing other servers was causing some kind of other traffic errors, which admin fixed but that's when I started getting frequent 500 errors...thing is, Qoto was never unfunctional--it was still running once the error cleared itself. Hmmm....

Noted, and thank you for all the work you do.
I hadn't gotten your email addy at the time, but as soon as this came back online, I looked for the...well, equivalent to About Us page....and now have that information pasted to a text file so upon the occurrence of a next-time, I will definitely email you. Happy to be of help.

I know you have the best of intentions though there is noway you can know that. You do not have access to the server side were the faults are. This is not a failing script issue as I initially thought it might be. It is the PHP-FPM configuration.

In fact it is likely the Hash Tag games that are causing the issue. At the end of the day, yes, it is my responsibility to fix this type of error and the poor configuration that allowed it to happen is my fault not the users. So it is my fault and no one else. Though, that does not eliminate that it was something a user did that took the server down due to the configuration issues. I need them to give me feedback to fix these issues. So please do not tell users of this Instance that what they did or did not do had any effect on the problem. There is noway for you to definitively or even accurately answer those type of questions..

Indeed, only admin has access to that, my suspicions were most probably not right. At least I hope not.
Thanks for the reply.
