500 Server Error opening caches

[+Team DEMP]

Looks like there's a server issue opening caches. Other functions I tried seem to have pages served up but not cache pages.

 

Any example will work such as https://www.geocachi...19-893b55756b1f

 

A 500 error is not a client/browser issue.

Reports on Project-GC and API based apps about intermittent issues as well.

500 Server Errors typically are temporary. A 500 server generally means "something went wrong" while either processing a request or constructing the response. What went wrong could be anything from a failure to obtain a database connection, full file system, out of memory, or a time out accessing some server resource. It usually means the server code did not detect what was actually causing the problem, and if a server side program terminates without generating a response the web server will just generate 500 server error. Unfortunately, 500 errors are sometimes generated even when the program detects an error, but for security reasons will just return a 500 error so that someone trying to hack the site isn't given too much information.

To the outside world (the rest of us outside Frog HQ), Error 500 means:

 

Our server crashed, but we got notified and we have log files to help us figure it out.

This applies pretty much anywhere.

I don't know where that quote came from but the server hasn't crashed. The server responded with a 500 error. It means that the program which processes a request terminated prematurely and the server doesn't know why so it's just going to send a 500 error response. Usually, the reason why the process terminated can be found in server logs though.
