# Settings page – Azure – server error

 * Fresh install of Autoptimize on an Azure Web App (which runs fine besides this).
   
   When going to the settings page, I get:
 * The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred.
 * In the server logs I see:
 * HTTP Error 500.0 – Internal Server Error
    D:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.6\php-
   cgi.exe – The FastCGI process exited unexpectedly
 * Any idea?

 * Additional, the error code “3221225477” / 0xc0000005 is logged. Can’t find anything
   useful on Google yet…
    Help is appreciated.

 * Hi Frank, there are no errors in the PHP log at all at that time, that’s the 
   weird thing.
    There are other logs from a time ago, so the PHP logging seems 
   to be working.

 * It is a bit random, it happens ~80% of the time.

 * I see … some more questions:
    * do you get the error immediately, or only after
   some time (10s or more)? * and when you get through (20% of times), do you see
   a list of titles of autoptimize-related blogposts under “futtta about autoptimize”?

 * – The error appears after ~5 seconds.
    – Sorry, did not notice. And it’s not 
   working now. As your plugin was not working for me I’ve installed W3 Total Cache
   which does the job for me as well.

 * ok, bit of a gamble, but the problem might be with the code fetching those blogposts(
   although they’re stock wordpress [fetch_feed](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/fetch_feed)
   calls).
 * so [download the latest AO version from GitHub (soon to be 2.0.1) here](https://github.com/futtta/autoptimize/archive/master.zip)
   and then use this code (which hooks into AO’s API) to disable the HTTP-calls;
 *     ```
       add_filter('autoptimize_settingsscreen_remotehttp',__return_false);
       ```

 * Where should I put that “add_filter”?

 * you could use the [code snippets plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/)
   for that (your -child- theme’s functions.php would be an alternative, but upon
   theme-updates the code would get overwritten).
 * but do update to the GitHub version, as the filter is not in 2.0.0.

 * When activating 2.0.0:
    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a 
   fatal error.
 * Sorry, I already switched to another plugin, may be you want to keep this issue
   in mind if it occurs again with somebody else.

 * no problem, except for the frustration of not being able to pinpoint & fix this
   🙂

 * that was the github-version indeed? anything about that fatal error on the screen
   or in the php error-log?

 * Yes I understand your frustration, sorry, but I’m super busy atm.
 * There is nothing in the PHP error log. Last error log is from 16 December.
    May
   be it’s because of some other plugin I’ve installed.
