How to fix HTTP 500 error?

Question

Nginx

Please help me solve the problem, I started the server on nginx, checked the status - active.
But when I try to access the site, I get an HTTP ERROR 500 error.
What can I do about it?

Answer 1

I would look at the logs. As a rule, there is a detailed description of what happened

Answer 2

There can be many reasons. For example, incorrect permissions on site folders and files. There are few details in the question.

Answer 3

You are proxying to an inaccessible resource (it can be all sorts of php-fpm, node.js, pythons, etc.) It is possible that the RAM has run out or the syntax was wrong in .htaccess.
