Hello..

Recently over the last week we keep getting complaints from customers when they go to our website the site is down at times. They get a 502 bad gateway error.

A look at our apache logs shows a ” Timeout waiting for output from CGI script ”

We contacted our website and they can confirm the issue is not on there end, like a problem with there servers. They said it looks to do with a issue with the website theme or a plugin that is associated with the theme.

Is there a way you can check this and resolve any issues you might find?

Hello,

Provide us with server error logs to get detailed information about mentioned error and WP Dashboard and FTP access to your site.

Hello,

1) “SiteTools > Statistics > Error log” are you talking about cPanel menu? Because there is no such menu item in WP Dashboard. We installed Error logs plugin and don’t see any errors
http://prntscr.com/qp0d1t

2) Do you use features of the WooCommerce Services plugin? Because it has not very good rating https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-services/ and also could be the reason of the issue because there is link to WooCommerce orders in the list of errors you provided http://prntscr.com/qp0rc8

3) Jetpack plugin generates errors https://prnt.sc/qp07yi Once we disable plugin errors disappear. WooCommerce Services plugin requires Jetpack, so I would recommend you to disable both plugins and check if you face your issues. If not then those plugins are the reason of the problem.

4) Google Analytics for WordPress by MonsterInsights plugin does not support auto JS minification http://prntscr.com/qp0ubg and generates error in console http://prntscr.com/qp0thp . Contact plugin author to fix this issue with minification support.

Hello,

2) What do you mean you never use it? WooCommerce plugin is plugin that allows you to create products and sell them https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/ . If you don’t want to have and sell products then you can disable it. But WooCommerce Services is an additional plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-services/ and in the plugin description you can read what options WC Services plugin provides.

3) You don’t need this plugin for WooCommerce but it’s required for WooCommerce Services. So if you don’t use WooCommerce Services plugin than you can keep disabled Jetpack.

1) I was asking if we need the WooCommerce Services plugin? I was asking if we need this additional plugin.

2) We are still getting the 502 error page. We contacted siteground and again they said its not on there end but according to there error logs that they can record they get the message:

2020-01-18 18:55:38 UTC [apache][:warn] [pid 11022] [client 72.28.245.200:55396] Timeout waiting for output from CGI script /home/u47-gqsz9xuzqcd2/www/officialhcgdietstore.com/public_html/wp-admin/edit.php, referer: https://officialhcgdietstore.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=woocommerce_ac_page&action=listcart&wcal_deleted=YES

Hello,

1) I’m not sure about this, it’s your site. This plugin does not come bundled with our theme, so we don’t have any recommendations about this. Read the plugin description and decide if you need it or not.

2) If you take a look at links you’ll see that it comes to settings of the third-party plugin (Abandoned Cart Lite for WooCommerce), not to our theme settings or files. We don’t see any queries in our theme that could cause the mentioned error and any links to our settings in the error logs, so check the third-party plugins that you use. For example, plugin mentioned above.
Also, if you check the WooCommerce > Status > Logs you’ll see that GreenPay by Green Payment Processing plugin generates log files everyday http://prntscr.com/qq5cou So, clear from the plugin author if you need these logs and disable them in plugin settings if not.

Regards
