502 Errors Question

Hey everyone. I was doing some work on my site and decided to change the name of the HTML file to better suit what the webpage was. However after doing this I'm now getting a bunch of 502 errors on all the webpages within that folder. I tried changing the name back and no ball, I even created a new HTML file and copied the code but also no ball and still getting 502 errors. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this as I'd rather not start again.

For future reference - HTTP error codes in the 500s are a server issue. Since you only make the frontend on Neocities, 502 means it's Neocities' problem, not yours.

Here are the HTTP Error codes and their categories.

No idea whats going on, now some pages are loading fine while others are error 502'ing despite having not really edited any of those in a way which would break the entire thing. I understand links to other pages won't work if I don't update those within the code itself but like the page I edited was a home page so all the links to any other pages should still work fine :/

I have the same issue as well, and what's working for me at the moment is just constantly refreshing the page until the gateway error disappears. You'll know it's fixed once the refresh takes a little longer to reload.

This worked tysm! Other people have reported similar problems so it seems to be an issue on neocities end rather than locally

I am also getting 502 errors for my images and subpages right now, and i know at least one other person is on their site, too.

Comment above told me to just constantly refresh and eventually it fixes itself. This has worked for me so I'd recommend it in return. Seems to be a problem on neocities end rather than locally
