HTTP Error 500 - help!

Posted on April 6, 2020

My site was working less than an hour ago - insight.gan.co

However it now shows HTTP Error 500. Looking at DigitalOcean dash, I don’t see any issues with my droplets (though I’m pretty non technical!)

Help?

Hi there @DaniGAN,

It seems like an issue with Apache or PHP, I would recommend following the steps from this answer here on how to troubleshoot common Apache problems:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/how-to-troubleshoot-common-apache-issues-on-linux-server

Feel free to share the output of the commands here so that I could advise you further.

I would recommend starting with your Apache error log, you can check the last 100 entries with this command here:

  1. tail -100 /var/log/apache2/error.log

This would give you more information about the actual problem.

Regards, Bobby
