Google Cloud Server suddenly stopped working. Yesterday I got the error , " Error establishing database connection".

Today it is "Request Timeout Server timeout waiting for the HTTP request from the client"

Any suggestions to get over this issue??

  • This error probably means that you sent a request to your webserver. Your webserver sent a request to your database. The database did not reply before the webserver timed it out. You have not provided enough information to help you with the database timeout issue. I would start by looking at the logfiles for connection errors. – John Hanley Dec 12 '18 at 00:42
  • I checked the log. Nothing. There is a log that I restarted the instance. That's all. – Jayadev Prasad Dec 12 '18 at 00:55

This could happen based on the configuration you have on your app.yaml. If the instances are overloaded you might encounter a 408 when trying to communicate with the server, in that case changing the scaling configuration on your yaml file might fix the issue.

This document can help you with configuration of your yaml file, information with auto and manual scaling, healthcheck, readiness check etc.

And this article would give you general information on how scaling work on App Engine and best practices.

Also, if you’re using WordPress, this is a common issue with WordPress
