Error 521 on website

[xiyahchang23]

When I was uploading my images to my wordpress blog, the page shows my upload fails. And then when I refresh my webpage, it shows Error data base message. Then, after about one day when I re-open my website, it shows Error 521.

I have already looked through those Erro 521 posts, but I don’t know how exactly I need to check firewall whitelist or how can I fix it. Sorry I am a beginner on these.

Can someone really help me?

You’ll need assistance from your website host to fix this. Point them to this Tip if they need additional information.

Community Tip - Fixing Error 521: Web server is down

Error Try the suggestions in this Community Tip to help you fix Error 521: Web server is down. Background A 521 error happens when we are unable to make a TCP connection to your origin server. Specifically, Cloudflare tried to connect to your origin server on port 80 or 443, but received a connection refused error. This is often caused by security or firewall software and happens if the origin server has directly refused Cloudflare’s proxy request. [Banner in tip catalog] Quick Fix Ideas …

what do you mean website host? Is that the server host?

[sdayman]

Yes. The company that hosts your website.

So I need to contact wordpress?

Hi @xiyahchang23,

You need to contact whoever is hosting your site. WordPress can be hosted on wordpress.com or the software can be hosted on many other web hosts. Whoever you pay for web hosting / server is who you will need to contact.
