It hit 000webhost, but for some reason the server return 500 sometimes. Maybe too many requests from CloudFlare concurrently?

#3

The 500 error is not a result of Cloudflare, it is a host issue. Try deleting your .htaccess and clearing your cache.

#4

still doesn’t work. It’s kind of intermittent.

#5

Odd. I have visited your site about 20 times now with three different browsers, and I haven’t gotten the 500 error at all.

#6

I have the same problem. thioron.comli.com is my website.
Deleting cache doesnt fix this. I have tried with different browsers but i get the same. How can i fix this?

#7

@aloride @Supun I have forwarded this to an admin to see if he has any insight. When I get a response, I’ll let you know.

#8

@aloride Refresh your website for 2-3 times, this will load your website.
And your website is working fine now.

@Supun Your website loads fine too.
if still getting “500 error nginx” then refresh your website for 2-3 times, this will load your website.

And use google DNS.

#11

Yeah… my website loads fine… But ajax(xhr) requests returns 500 error nginx. It is a big problem. How can i fix it?

#12

@Supun Refresh 2-3 times and this should solve your issue…

#13

@Supun your website loads fine.

#14

Even I refresh the webpage, ajax requests often (about 40%) sends 500 error nginx.

#15

@Supun Screenshot plz.

#16

This is not how it should work. The failure rate should be less than 1%.

I can point out that this is a problem with Nginx routing with 000webhost when communicating with CloudFlare.

#17

@aloride Already admins are aware of the issue.
Still the issue is not fully fixed …but will be fixed soon.

or you can consider upgrading to premium for zero downtime.

#18

Right now the rate is quite high. I tried to run this below UNIX command line:

➜ ~ while sleep 0.3; do curl -s -o /dev/null -w “%{http_code}\n” https://aloride.000webhostapp.com; done
