502 Error - Bad Gateway

[rolygate]

Some people have reported getting a server error: 502 Error - Bad Gateway

Our tech admins are working on this issue at present. If you get this fault, please:

Close and re-open your browser.

-or-

Leave site, flush cookies (just the ECF ones if you know how to do that), close & re-open browser, return to site.

One server is faulty. By closing the browser and/or getting a new cookie you can get onto another server as the load-balancer is currently set to direct you to another one.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, it looks like the balancer then kicks you to the bad server as the good one builds load. (I've been restarting and flushing. Not complaining, just letting you know.)

Clearing ECF cookies under Firefox 11:
Open the dropdown box, select Options - Options, then click the Privacy icon.
Select "remove individual cookies" and a list box opens.
Scroll down the list and select (highlight) e-cigarette-forum.com.
Click "Remove Cookies" (not "Remove All Cookies").

Thanks for the heads up, Roly. I've had this happen and it seemed to be transitional rather than a static failure.

Upper left corner of the browser, if you see "Firefox" in orange, left click on it to get the dropdown.

Another bug -- lost the ability to Insert Image from local computer again. I've tried in both Firefox and an IE tab.

easier said than done - also, likes, profile page, settings are barely accessible

tibs if you have the menu bar turned on you can access it through Edit > Preferences in Fx11.

The server techs are still working on the gateway Issue -- more news as it becomes available.

I bet it is all OS -- I think he just turned on the user pain widget for all users

I also get an error message in my email inbox when I click on the link to unsubscribe from a particular thread. I have to go into my profile (or wherever subscribed threads are stored) and do it manually. This has been happening ever since I joined.

I hope this don't sound like complaining or a put down because it's not intended to be that way. My question is lately it seems like it really takes a lot of time to go from one post to another or any movement for that fact. Why does ECF add all these slow downs instead of making what they already have work right? I'm not trying to put it down I'm just asking a question in my own feeble way of asking so please don't get angry.

If I try to view any of that, I get the error. Also if I try to leave a thread or PMs to go out to the forum, I get that error. Cookies cleared.

Whatever is load balancing should, perhaps, be reconfigured to point only to the good server until the other one is repaired.

 

[oldsoldier]

the techs disabled some stuff on the server and monitoring, if you get anymore 502's please let us know (the staff is also reporting any issues we see to the techs but we need your information as well)

@Markfm

The Pain Widget

I like that

p.s. Mark, for your benefit, they think that there is a PHP issue with a major plugin installed yesterday. Or, maybe mcrypt is built wrong. Then again, it could be curl built wrong. The problem just now is that Mars is aligned with Jupiter in the 3rd quadrant so we can't tell until Mercury is rising.

My error, it's the Miserable Users widget Miserable Users - vBulletin.org Forum

(though the Sadistic widget is also kind of cool )

for the first time this am

504 Gateway Time-out
The server didn't respond in time.
