My Google App Engine Wordpress Site is returning r

Question

I haven't made any changes at all to my Wordpress install of Google App Engine site and now it won't display any content (except for the home page).

Any time I request a page, it loads the page structure, but not the content and in the logs, it shows a response 500.

I assume this means it can't connect to the database, but I have no idea how to test for this, and because we have the bronze plan, there is no customer service. So even though I haven't made any changes, my site is essentially down, but I have no idea what changed or why.

Can anyone help point me to what I should look for? Or any resources to help?

Here is the site: http://www.simonsaysgive.org/who-we-are/our-mission-and-vision

Thanks! Lou

Answer 1

This seemed to resolve the issue, though I wouldn't call it a fix.

1. shut down all running instances (there were 2)
2. flush memcache

Then site was magically running again.

I did also tweet to @googlecloud and they've opened a ticket for me. I'll add it if they find uncover any causes/fixes.
