  • Error 502

    It has nothing to do with your phone.
    It's an error generated by the server.


    Whilst it's nice you're trying to help people out: nope, that is not a solution.
    Pure coincidence, the issue got fixed around the same time you went there.

  • Error 502

    It doesn't have anything to do with a lack of memory in terms of hardware, more of scripts triggering security measures that limit the memory per process to ensure that the total available memory can't be exhausted by a code error.
    Yeah, that probably sounds a bit too complicated.

    No, what I'm saying is basically this:
    When you load the site, code is executed.
    The code can use a maximum of X mb per process.
    When something goes wrong in the code and it tries to use much more than that process limit, X, then the execution of the code is immediately terminated as a result: to prevent the server from crashing.
    Because, if you would not imply such hard limits; say a coding problem occurs that keeps on using more, more and more memory infinitely and the server does nothing to stop it: then the server memory will eventually not be sufficient anymore to support it and the entire server crashes.


    Hence, there are security measures in place to prevent it from happening, and that's what causes that error; it's simply security measures triggering.
    That doesn't mean in any way that there isn't enough memory available in the server, it simply means that the code is trying to do something it's not allowed to do.


    It is highly complex material though, so I can understand why it might seem to be a problem with available memory as a whole.

    Is there anyway we could, I dont know. Do a donation?
    To help get the site fixed.


    Dunno, that's for other staff like wynn; I just keep the servers running and am not really affiliated with this site in any other way. :)


    I'm sure the site could do with donations, the servers don't exactly run on bottles of cheap water.
