Most common server-side errors
Here's a list of some common 500 errors, if you want to get familiar with the terms.
Error 500 (Internal Server Error)
It’s a general-purpose error message when a web server encounters some form of internal error. For example, a web server overload can block requests for some time.
Error 502 (Bad Gateway)
This is a general indicator that there's something wrong with a website's server communication when this server is acting as a gateway or proxy.
Error 503 (Service Unavailable)
This usually happens when the system is overloaded or down for maintenance, it means there's something interfering with the access from the browser to the server.
Error 504 (Gateway Timeout)
In this case, the server is acting as a gateway or proxy server and is not receiving a response from the back-end servers within the allowed time period, thus the connection is blocked. Refreshing the page can be enough to fix this sometimes.
