chihuahuajill Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 When trying to search for caches, it takes a long time and eventually gives the following error: “Error Request failed: internal server error (500)”. I’ve tried logging out and back in and have tried rebooting my phone, but neither helped. I’m able to search for caches on the website and on the official app. I have an iPhone 13 mini running iOS 15.3.1, Cachly version 7.0.12 (3). I’m a premium member on geocaching.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chihuahuajill Posted February 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 I resolved the problem by deleting the Cachly app and reinstalling. I saved all my offline lists as gpx files prior to removing the app because they were deleted along with the app. After reinstalling, everything worked fine and I reimported the gpx files back in to restore my offline lists.

Hmm, that is really strange. You should never have to delete Cachly. A 500 error comes from the geocaching.com API. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chihuahuajill Posted February 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Thanks Nic. The problem persisted for several days before I decided to try the reinstall. Obviously I would have preferred not to have to delete it because of losing all offline lists and settings. But…I really didn’t like having access to Cachly more!

Trauerweide Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 I have the same problem for several days but don't wanted to delete and reinstall Cachly yet. The geocaching app is working without problems. Is there anything that I can do to solve the problem without deleting cachly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, can you try the searcha again, then use the option in Cachly to contact support and send us an email. Then make sure to include debug data so we can see the request that is being made.

If it does, Please make sure to see my above comment about sending debug data, it would really help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trauerweide Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 I have send you an email with more informations and the debug data. I hope that helps you finding the problem. I would love to use Cachly again. It's way much better than the geocaching app! ♥ Nic Hubbard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Hubbard Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 Do you have the "Full Cache Data" option turned on? If so, try turning that off and see if that helps. If it DID fix the issue, can you let me know what you have for the number of caches to load setting? Is it 100? Trauerweide 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm really confused why this is making problems right now. BUT... I've try to turning it off and that solved the problem for me. Thank you so much! ♥ ♥ ♥ 40 minutes ago, Nic Hubbard said: If it DID fix the issue, can you let me know what you have for the number of caches to load setting? Is it 100? Yes it is 100.

So a change that Geocaching HQ made to their API (not sure what) is now triggering the 500 error when full cache data and 100 caches are requested.

I've tested turning the "Full Cache Data" on with less than 100 Caches and that is working too. The maximum with "Full Cache Data" on seems to be 80 Caches. Anyway, thanks for all your help! I'm really happy that I can now use Cachly again. ♥ Nic Hubbard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
