I’m still learning Linux so I’m by no means an expert…

Looking at the /var/log/syslog file I don’t see anything new after getting the 500 errors.

I did find a couple weird anomalies though. First, looking at the syslog, I have these two lines

Mar  4 17:09:01 ip-xxx-xx-xx-x CRON[1614]: (root) CMD (  [ -x /usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime ] && [ -x /usr/lib/php5/sessionclean ] && [ -d /var/lib/php5 ] && /us$
Mar  4 17:09:01 ip-xxx-xx-xx-x CRON[1615]: (root) CMD (  [ -x /usr/lib/php/sessionclean ] && /usr/lib/php/sessionclean)

Which I find weird because I installed PHP 7 and even looking at the phpinfo file, it says it’s running 7. Maybe I just need to make sure 5 is disabled? I’ll have to investigate that.

Also, I have another plugin (wptouch) and it’s telling me there are two module updates avaliable. However, when I tell it to update them, they do not actually update. But I can update plugins through the main Plugins-Installed Plugins area.

So maybe something weird is going on in the back end???

Thanks for the reply. Couple things, I hope you or someone can assist with.

I went ahead and removed Varnish from my server and also removed W3TC. Reading up on them, I was convinced that maybe they aren’t as necessary as I first thought.

The site is still lightening fast with the LEMP setup, so I’m happy with that.

However, a couple things about that last post. First, I only get the 500 error when trying to disable JetPack, other plugins (at least the few that I checked), don’t give a 500 error.

I added the code to the wp-config file, ran the xml request and also tried to deactivate JetPack causing the 500 error.

Unfortunately, a debug.log was NOT created. I searched the entire server and that file was not created.

Any suggestions on what I can do now?

Thanks, any tips for getting it fixed though? I’ve searched and tried some of the solutions, but none have actually fixed it. The best lead that I’ve found so far is here: https://usefulmix.com/wordpress-nginx-varnish-jetpack-xml_rpc-32700-glitch-fix/ But again, this still didn’t help.

It seems the database didn’t get imported properly. Things seem better now, but still have some little issues poping up while poking around.

Well, I thought I had things working better, but it seems maybe not now. Looking at the stats tonight, I’m getting into the red zone. I get the most visitors Friday and Saturday. Next weekend will definitely kill the site with Deadpool coming out. Is there anything else anyone can think of to help? It’s coming down to getting more expensive hosting (which I cannot afford) or finding a better, less resource intensive theme.

I’ll have to try that tomorrow then. It looks like it’s simple enough to switch between them. I just thought maybe some irreversible changes happen in the background once I switch.

Thanks @georgetasioulis!

I have used P3 to trim some “fat” and also lean up Jetpack as I had a bunch of modules enabled that I didn’t end up using.

I’ll check out the Query Monitor, it sounds helpful.

I use WP Super Cache.

Haven’t looked at the error_log recently. If it’s the same file I’m thinking of, the last time I looked at it, I got confused!

I’m running PHP version 5.6.17. I was able to enable opcache via a php.ini file.

Apparently I have PHP 7.0.2 avaliable to me which they say has opcache enabled by default. Not sure if I want to upgrade to that version though, I’m always afraid that something terrible will happen when I do!

I’ve had similar issues with certain code, mainly ad codes. I don’t remember specifics anymore, but it had something to do with the page trying to auto render the text as opposed to just being able to paste and then press the save button. Maybe there’s a way to have it not process the javascript or something similar on paste? HTH

This is so annoying! GoDaddy just can’t figure this out. Does ANYONE out there have any ideas as to what I can do about this? When it’s down I can’t even see the https://aftercredits.com/info.php page. They keep saying it’s a capacity issue and open connections, yet I am not having many visitors at all right now. My site has been down about 75% of the time these past couple weeks and I’m at a point where this needs to be fixed or I’m just going to have to give up on the site all together!

I called up GoDaddy a couple hours ago and they said that it’s a server resource issue and are again pointing towards plugins. They have a tech looking at the server to try and get the site back up and once it’s up I’ll have to go through and delete un-needed plugins.

I’ve tried using multiple browsers and multiple networks (home and cellular) and all show my site is unavailable. It’s so weird that you can get to it fine. Especially since so many uptime checkers show that it’s down.

Found this site and it shows my site is down for 28 out of 36 locations: https://www.host-tracker.com/InstantCheck/ResultComplete/8f0af162-cf8e-e511-80c4-0003ff733473

Thanks for checking, this is weird. I can’t access it and when I check with online “is site down” type sites, they all say it’s down too. Where are you located at? In the U.S. or elsewhere? I wonder if it’s some weird network issue somewhere?

When going to the logon screen (wp-admin), it redirects to secure and doesn’t display the page.

The site is hosted on-site, and neither myself of my predecessor enabled https on this site. So I don’t understand why this is happening. I’m not there right now so I can’t easily check these settings, but I can remote in to look later; but I’m not even sure what I would be looking for.

It’s hosted on a ubuntu box and Linux isn’t my strong suite.
