502 Bad Gateway

A proxy or load balancer could not get a valid response from the application behind it.

What causes it

  • PHP-FPM, Node or a container has crashed.
  • The upstream address or port is wrong after a deploy.
  • The application is too overloaded to answer.

If you are the visitor

  • Nothing you can fix from your side; reload in a minute.

If it is your website

  • Check the application process is alive, and read its log rather than the proxy log.
  • Verify the upstream configuration.
  • Restart the service, then investigate why it died.
