Just had a 500 internal server error.

#Not-a-network issue

That is my default response to the people who report this to us in the network team

I honestly just think we've finally outgrown that old Pentium III. Maybe time to consider an Athlon XP?

No need yet. Just overclock it.

People need to put some more 50pence pieces in the server

I got a 500 error earlier.

It showed the server is using nginx/1.14.1, which was end-of-lifed 6 years ago (https://endoflife.date/nginx) . Probably want to update that...

You should also probably hide the nginx version, because, security. https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#server_tokens

LOL

Nginx 1.14 is the base version in *EL 8.x and is fully supported for security patches until at least 2029. An enterprise server OS won't be following mainline software versions or subject to their EoL dates. That's the EoL from Nginx (the company/project) not the date it stops being supported by distro(s). OcUK is safe from upgrades for a few years yet. Edit: Debian Buster (oldoldstable) also runs that version, and is also receiving security patches (ELTS) until 2029. I'm sure one of the old Ubuntu LTS is in a similar boat also.

@kindai you should have put it all on Alpine Edge tbh.

Heh fair enough, I just saw the version and thought it looked old so looked up the security EOL date.

I like shiny new version numbers

Been happening for weeks, occasionally I’ll get a partial load of static assets, some basic css but no js for example. The 500 error is the most common.

I keep getting a similar thing on Companies House so thought it might’ve been me.

 

[kindai]

Made a few changes, can people let me know if they keep getting the nginx errors.

Thanks!

I stopped having any issues since late night yesterday into the early hours of the morning.

Just had a 500 internal server error.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Me too.

 

[alex24]

500’s are back. Most of the time it works second try and performance otherwise is good.

 

[Gray2233]

I've had a handful today myself.

Errors when trying to post/edit and a couple of timeouts when browsing.

 

[GravyMonster]

Same, just happened to me as well.

 

[dannywaugh1]

Me also

I remember years back they archived some of the forum's biggest threads to improve stability, maybe it's time to do that again.

 

[DJMK4]

Sounds like a server/ application layer issue

I had one a about 15 mins ago I think

 

[BUDFORCE]

Yea I just got one.

That was an issue with an ancient version of vBulletin. No such issues on Xenforo.
