What does 5xx status code errors mean basically ??๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”

[โ€“] farmgineer@nord.pub 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

To greatly oversimplify,

400-499 = you did something bad (404 not found, 401 not authorized, etc.)

500-599 = our server did something wrong meaning something in the server side went wrong ( either an issue in code or one server can't reach another)

4xx can also be caused by bugs (such as a bad request error because a dev broke something with what you are requesting), so it's a little complicated to explain in very basic terms

It depends on the specific error, but errors starting with 5 are errors on the server side.

I know you have been told more than once before, this belongs in !piefed_help@piefed.social
