Bitcoin Forum

This 1-2 weeks, '502 Bad Gateway' appeared when I am surfing on this forum, but it will like for few minutes or less, then back to normal.
But it happens like few times a day now.

Just want to ask is this only happened on mine...

nope... it happens to me to... The problem comes and goes...

i dont experience such problems. maybe try to contact your ISP

it's rather strange that you don't have these errors... It's an nginx 502-error, so it's server-side, so it should be the same for everybody...

Maybe you're just lucky ;)

I experienced the same problem, it works again within a few minutes when I refresh the page. If I remember well, it was like 5-times so far.

thx for clarify me as I usually online in my workplace,
thought my company banned this site...lmao

Yes I experienced this too a few hours ago. It is a temporary thing though, can be fixed by a few refreshes.

yes I know, but it always happens this few days.
was wondering is the site problem or my comp / network problem.

I got the problem too, it's happens sometimes, but it will back to normal when i try to refresh, i don't know why this. Looks like this issue is not happen to all member.

I swear I just was going to make a thread about it on the Meta . I'am experiencing this the last few days yes
but today it's the first ... Slow loading and it keeps poping out , from my experience , this should be a DDOS attack I guess.

yeah. i have had the 'bad gateway' error message several times today when trying to reach bitcointalk. probably a ddos attack.

works fine for me . don`t have any problem and didnt had any problems like that

yes sometimes. about 6-8 hours ago i got that problem here but now it's much better.


Can be.

Yup. I get it pretty regularly. Sometimes it's back with the next refresh, other times it'll take a few minutes or hours. This is nothing new. It's happened consistently since I've been lurking here.

this apperaed also to me this morning, like two or three times, i've reload the page and all is fine, after that the problems stop!

Yeah, seems like a quick refresh will do the trick or hitting back and then progressing onwards to where you were going.

No its not just you, I get this too sometimes.  I don't know what causes it, but it usually goes away after a while.

that not only you
i get "502 bad gateway"


may be theymos must upgrade security
i think 502 bad gateway is only server can't accommodate more people try to open bitcointalk.org

it has never happened to me as far as i can remember, maybe i am not active enough but you should try surfing with a proxy and see if the problem solves itself

No that used to happen to me nearly every day about a month ago, it's stopped since though I never did find out what caused it.

Looks like other people have has similar problems:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1073820.0

Yep i`m getting that too ocasionally, like 2 times /week. Looks like the forum needs a better hosting provider, or bigger bandwidth, in the 3-4 years we`ve grown into a big community, and many people post here so we need a bigger host and bigger bandwidth.

Oh the horror i got this error again today, i grabbed a screenshot:

there was a time today where i couldn't get access to the site for quite some time. not the first time that this is happening. probably a ddos again.

I would like to know if the issue we are all having is a result of some sort of "peek hours" and caused by server load, or is it in fact some sort of an attack?
Either way, it's quite anoying, since it strikes me very often in the hours i am available to devote here.

cheers

I also have 503 errors and connection timed out error.

Sucks when you are trying to post something because everything is lost, but I'm luck and only happened when I browse

There is already a thread about that in Meta. It seems the forum has problems all the time and theymos claimed it's coming from the ddos protection service.

Now he tries out different other services. Might be that the one he actually is testing brought these problems.

Edit: Forgot the url: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1111102

Fix the forum fast guys, i get this error constantly, every 2 minutes i get this error and its untolerable ( i could barely post this post, it errored me 5 times)

Same here within the last half hour that I've been (trying to) use the forum.

My network provider is Viasat.  Obviously this error is from the forum, but it is possible that whatever is going on is aggravated by network problems of one form or another which is why I mention it (and wish others would also.)

"502 Bad Gateway" Me too got this error sometime back while loading the pages. Fortunately it wasn't a long wait as before when it lasted for about 2 hours or more.

Looks like its when the forum is overloaded or being attacked by hackers.

I havent got any error in the last 2 weeks so i guess the admins have fixed the problems or found a better host/ firewall service.

I'd like to know the answer to that question as well. I've been caught in that error a few times now.

I also experienced the same problem when I visit from my mobile.

try to check your DNS config...
set with free google dns...
8.8.8.8 or 5.5.4.4
this work for me.

I also usually get an error like  "forum database error, please contact the admin if this problem persists", if i`ll get it again i will print-screen it.

It is much rarer than the 502 gateway error but it is still happening sometimes.

It is a server side error.usually occur due to overloaded server and in most cases doesn't last more than 5 minutes.

Yeah, it's getting pretty sluggish for me too, I am also getting the 502 Bad Gateway error

This happens to me when I use a broadband usb stick.
But when I use our internet (wired) in my office this never happens
I guess this is because of the internet connection.

You just have to wait a while.

Fucking 502 error again. I wrote a damn long post, and hit POST, and its all gone. Wasnt even saved in the drafts.

Fuck the errors, from now on i will write all posts in notepad and copy it here.

I started getting them now to.  At first nothing pops up just seems down.  Then goes to 502 error.

Hopefully goes away soon.  That makes a few times in not a long period.

got it too.
you could have reloaded the page and click 'resend' when prompted. at least that's what I usually do when using firefox.

its starting to appear more often now, before it was like once every 2days, now its coming up every hour  :(

At least we know that this problem is not caused on our side. It's problem with the forum. Mods should do something to prevent 502 error.
My advice is: just copy every post you write before you click "Post". It will help if you are worrying that your post might be gone due to this bullshit error.

I would just like to confirm as well that I have been experiencing this problem more often today and yesterday. Initially I thought it was a VPN problem but other websites seem to work just fine. Forum moderators can not do anything about this. The only person (right now) who can do something is theymos. He's the one in charge of the website.

The "502" is strong today. :'(

IF I reload the page I get 502 again, and by the time it goes away, the textbox empties out. It is not saved in draft. So i`m fucked.

I write a post for 20-30 lines, and i`m fucked, i need to write it again. Next time i use notepad.

Indeed.... Happed 2-3 times to me today to  :(
