Problem: Internal Server Error

A server_error problem is returned from horizon when an error occurs within the code for horizon. This error code is a catchall, and it could reflect any number of errors in the server: A configuration mistake, a database connection error, a bug, etc.

NOTE: Even though Horizon is an open source project, we do not directly expose error information such as stack traces or raw error messages, as they may exposes sensitive configuration data such as secret keys.

Example

{
  "type":     "https://www.stellar.org/docs/horizon/problems/server_error",
  "title":    "Internal Server Error",
  "status":   500,
  "details":  "...",
  "instance": "d3465740-ec3a-4a0b-9d4a-c9ea734ce58a"
}

Tips for resolution

• If you are encountering this problem on a server you control, please check the horizon log files for more details. The logs should contain stack traces and more detailed information to help you discover the root issue.

• If encountering this problem on the public stellar infrastructure, report an issue on horizon’s issue tracker. Please include at a minimum the instance attribute from the problem response, but additional information such as the original request that triggered the problem is always welcome and speeds our ability to identify the problem.
