E-Blah Community / Question and Answer / Internal Server Error
Posted by: bobshoe, January 8, 2010, 3:10pm
Yesterday my website was working now... I get this message:
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
If anyone can help i would appriciate :p

A 404 error? That means the file doesn't exist. Can you post a link to your site and maybe I can help you out :)

The 404 error is just because it couldn't find the error document to show, it's nothing to worry about, not related to the error.
The 500 error, if happened spontaneously, is probably due to the server's process execution limits. With HostGator for example, it's at 25 max processes, which is normally fine, but when server log parsing programs such as awstats etc... compile their stats, they use lots of processes for a long time (20 or more minutes), so with your site's regular load, could push past this 25 process limit momentarily, and you'll get the 500. :)
It's more commonly a permission problem, but as you said it was working, then stopped, I'd hazard a guess at the process limit being exceeded briefly...
