CGI Gateway Timeout with Internet issues

[ertyu]

Yesterday there was a fiber cut upstream of my ISP that caused many connections to fail, while some others succeeded. Once again Smokeping became unusable just when it would be handy to help identify the problem. I get a Gateway timeout trying to load the CGI pages and graphs. There is a local DNS resolver which was able to resolve some addresses. Of course when there is no connectivity the same thing happens. Is there some thing that can be changed to fix or work around this?

@ertyu Can you elaborate a bit more what the problem is?
Maybe a local caching dns would solve your problem? (dnsmasq, bind etc)

[ertyu]

The CGI web pages won't load when there are upstream connectivity issues. As mentioned I do have a local caching dns server.

Can you share your conf?
I don't understand where you'd get a gateway upstream issue. Maybe seeing a conf makes it more clear.
Sounds like gateway of proxypass or such in apache/nginx.

I believe the error message itself originates from apache. The gateway to the cgi script times out, i.e. it's running far too long without returning any content. But ultimately its the problem with the script.

Cool,  not entirely related to this, but drop your Apache conf for smokeping and I'll have a look. ⁣/k

<Directory /usr/local/www/smokeping/>
AllowOverride None
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler cgi-script .fcgi
Options ExecCGI

The rest of apache config is pretty much default.
