Uninstalled Discourse Error Page Issue
Zarken uninstalled Discourse and Docker, but an error page still shows when accessing their domain. They suspect it’s related to Discourse and are seeking help to resolve the issue without reinstalling their OS (Ubuntu 16.04).
Falco suggested a potential solution by sharing a link from Stack Overflow. Zarken appreciated the quick response.
sam raised a concern about the error page not differentiating between a site being offline and not existing at all. featheredtoast acknowledged the issue, attributing it to caching limitations. They proposed enhancing the offline page with more details and a button to uninstall the service worker for visitors who know the site is gone.
I’ve removed Discourse in order to try and fix some unrelated web pages however a discourse (i believe) related error page shows when trying to access my domain?
I should have uninstalled Discourse and Docker… and yet the page still shows?
What am i doing wrong? Debating re-installing my OS (Ubuntu 16.04) but would prefer to avoid doing so. Using nginx for my webserver.
Thank you, that was fast 
@featheredtoast is there any way to detect “offline” vs “there is absolutely no website there anymore” agree it is rather confusing to be presented this.
It’s one of the downsides of caching, since that page is shown when it can’t connect universally, as a client has no way of automatically detecting the difference.
I’d personally be in favor of enhancing the offline page, and giving some more details, and possibly with a button/link that uninstalls the service worker in the event that the visitor actually wants to remove it because they know the site’s gone.
