Bad Gateway Problem

I have one website that when I try access it, I get message shown in the attachment. I have tried resetting the PRAM etc. to no avail. I have tried different browsers and that hasn't helped. I am sub-computer literate. Thanks for your help.

Was it "Settings for This Website"?



I can't find anything in it that would be responsible but a Safari Extension certainly could be the culprit: Change Extensions preferences on Mac - Apple Support


Anyway, glad you figured it out.

502 Bad Gateway occurs if your Mac (or any number of other steps along the way) receives a nonsensical answer from the website it's trying to access. Like asking "what day is it" and getting "strawberry" for an answer.


Here are a few troubleshooting steps that may help:

Needless to say, if you are using, or have used at any time in the past, any non-Apple "anti-virus", "cleaning", or "Internet security" products including "banking security", anything at all in that broad category of utterly useless garbage, don't. A lot of things won't work if you do.

Try any alternative browser as a test.

A 502 Bad Gateway Error means that the web server you've connected to is acting as a proxy for relaying information from another server, but it has gotten a bad response from that other server. ... It's possible the server is overloaded or there are network issues between the two servers, and it's just a temporary problem.

Thank you, John. I tried a couple of things. First, I downloaded Brave and it worked. Secondly I went into the settings for adorama and changed a few to be less restrictive and that did the trick. I am able to access adorama from S

afari, Google Chrome and Brave.


Thanks to all who took the time to help.
