Seems like /Active is throwing 500s

2 years ago by tiredofsametab to c/fedia

Hi @jerry@fedia.io -- seems like /active is broken again for some reason. Didn't see any upgrade news or anything so not sure what the cause might be. I can try to help troubleshoot, so please let me know if I can do anything to help.

Thank you!

Seems like it's behaving itself fairly consistently now. For a couple hours I got 500 almost every time I tried to refresh (I think it worked twice) . Edit 8 minutes later: broken again. Every time it fails with 500.

The problem is related to a periodic denial of service caused by lots of hits to the login page, which is an extremely expensive operation and exhausts php processes for other things like what you’re seeing.

Scrapers/crawlers or legit traffic? Either way, thanks for looking; you're the best!
