Error 522. Troubleshooting

All users, going over the boundless expanses of the global network, encountered errors in the work of sites. For us, they are presented in the form of error pages that indicate the code of the problem.

What does error 522 mean?

Site errors are a frequent occurrence. They can occur both on the side of users and on the server. Each problem has its own special code, where you can find out the reason and ways to fix the error. The most common site malfunctions are the following codes: 404, 522, 503, 400.

Error 522 does not carry a serious problem, it is quite easy to fix. The essence of the problem is that the server can not respond to the client's request, thus causing a connection failure.

The client has a limited amount of time to wait for a response from the server to its request. The problem happens on the client side when the Internet data transfer rate is low and the ping level (delay) is high.

Error 522 has several causes:

1. Server load.
2. Hacker attack.
3. Incorrect installation of browser updates. If most sites do not load and the 522 crashes, the problem may be that the browser is not correctly installed. This happens when the computer is turned off during the installation, or if the version of the latest update is incompatible with a personal computer or laptop.
4. A plugin that is infected with virus or spyware. Some sites can download plug-ins to the browser that distribute malicious programs on the operating system. Such extensions can block client access to the server, so access to many sites will be blocked, an error 522 will crash. Delete all new browser extensions, because spyware can access user data. Stolen passwords, bank card numbers, logins, electronic wallet accounts are those types of information that can be stolen.
5. Server recovery and other activities focused on technical support of resources. At least once a month, each site conducts restoration work, at this time only developers have access to the resource, so users can only wait until the work is completed.

Server overloading

Due to too strong an influx of user requests, a server that is not designed to process large amounts of data is out of order. This is not a critical issue in the operation of the site, however, it takes a little time for administrators to return the functionality to the server and filter out the user's thread. Frequently with similar problems users of a site "Fichek" face. Error 522 in this case occurs when many users try to open the same page.

External attack on the resource

The request of users can carry and negative character. Often an abnormal number of actions in relation to the server indicates an attack by intruders. In this case, the site can suffer serious losses, because there is a lot of time to recover from the attack, and all the actions are quite laborious and costly. Several times this scenario was also encountered on the whole well-known site called "Fichebuk". Error 522 occurred to users for several days. Then the administration acknowledged that the site was subject to hacker attack. Soon the problem was eliminated, and now the resource works steadily, failures sometimes happen, but the workability is quickly restored by the developers.

Error 522. What to do to fix the problem

In order to solve the problem on the server side, you should limit the number of requests and the speed that is used to process them.

From the user's side, a number of actions must be taken:

1. If you do not open almost all the resources that you use most often, check the system for viruses and other types of malicious programs. If they are detected, remove them and clear the last installed plug-ins in the browser.
2. Error 522 is a server problem, so you need to wait for some time until the moderators open the site again. Recovery can take from a few hours to a week.
