Cloudflare 522 error only when accessing /wp-admin urls

So I am facing 522 error from Cloudflare, whenever I visit any admin URL on my WordPress site, I have not installed any plugins recently. So this issue is started out of nowhere. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there,

To troubleshoot the problem further you would need to first SSH to your server and then I could suggest a few things here:

  • Check if your MySQL server is up and running:
sudo systemctl status mysql
  • Check if your Apache service is running:
sudo systemctl status apache2
  • Check if there are any errors in your Apache error log:
sudo tail -100 /var/log/apache2/error.log
  • If there are any errors in the Apache error log, I could suggest following the steps from this tutorial here:

Let me know how it goes!

Regards, Bobby
