On the [[:Johnny\|Johnny]] ~~server~~, a [[:502_Bad_Gateway\|502 error]] may display.

These errors typically last no longer than a couple of minutes and are resolved once Apache has finished restarting.

	The difference in error messages (502 vs. 504) is ~~due to the~~ restart ~~method~~ used. A hard restart interrupts Apache abruptly, leading to a 502 (Bad Gateway), and a graceful restart will give the 504 (Gateway Timeout).

Because the wait time for restarts on Morty ~~and Tommy is much quicker~~, the graceful approach is ~~used on these servers~~.		The difference in error messages (502 vs. 504) is because of different restart methods used. A hard restart interrupts Apache abruptly, leading to a 502 (Bad Gateway), and a graceful restart will give the 504 (Gateway Timeout). The restart approach on Tommy and Johnny is different in order to minimize downtime and address user concerns about longer wait times for their sites to come back up after server restarts. Because the wait time for restarts on Morty was already minimal, the graceful approach is preferred for this server.
