Hi everybody, I have a problem with my first droplet (Magento 2). [Magento 2 Open Source 1.3.1 on Ubuntu 20.04 (LTS)]
I was following the complete process as described and Magento 2 was successfully installed (at least it has displayed the message in the console).
After entering my IP or via A-Record set domain address in the browser, I’m getting a 5XX error.
To be precise this is the error inside the browser window:
*Error 503 Backend fetch failed Backend fetch failed
Guru Meditation: XID: 32774
Varnish cache server*
Sadly I haven’t found anything like that to resolve this problem. Apache2 is running and it seems that there are no problems, as well as MySQL.
I haven’t changed other things on the server, just restarted (successfully) both services and the whole droplet.
Does anyone has ideas or can help me? I would really appreciate it.

Hi @cryptogene,
The issue is with Varnish rather than Apache. You need to increase the http_resp_hdr_len and http_resp_size in Varnish.
You can edit these configuration settings in your Varnish config file. You can find the file at /etc/default/varnish. Edit the file and restart the service
service varnish restart
This should resolve your issues.
Hello, I got exactly the same error. I tried to increase the http_resp_hdr_len and http_resp_size in Varnish. Also tried different Maintenance mode. I enabled and disabled it, but in any mode this error remained. Then i tried change url to health_check.php in Varnish configuration file in /etc/varnish/default.vcl but it also didn’t help.
But, when i tried restart apache2 by "sudo service apache2 restart" i got message:
`Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See “systemctl status apache2.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.`
Both commands from that message to say to me that apache2 can’t run because: "SSLCertificateFile: file '/etc/letsencrypt/live/magento.plugin/fullchain.pem' does not exist or is empty"
And in “/etc/letsencrypt” is no mention about “/live” folder. So in my case problem could be in the lack of files in that folder.
Could somebody help me with apache2 and that files which is not exist?
