]]>We have had one person successfully comment since this happened, we have successfully replied via our dashboard, and 4 spam comments have ended up in the queue. When attempting to leave test comments as a not-logged in user, however, we get the error.
We’re hosted with GoDaddy. The only changes we have made in the last week is we have added the plugin “WordPress Editorial Calendar,” and we switched from showing 10 posts (just snippets) on the home page to 15.
Everything else is working fine- posts and pages load correctly, we can create and edit posts, and we have no problems accessing the dashboard. Any thoughts would be HUGELY appreciated.
]]>So I went in to help them today, tried to automatically upgrade to 2.9.2 – it immediately turned into an internal server error. So I dumped the database and tried to reinstall the software.
I got it to where I could access the back end, but the front page and index pages were all giving me an error 500. An html page works fine.
I upped the memory in the wp-config. I tried to up it in the php.ini but I think that file is protected and therefore I didn’t end up changing it.
I deleted the .htaccess file. Now I think I might need that file and I don’t have a copy of it.
Can one just use a blank page for that file or does something have to be on it? Also, can you think of ANYTHING else it might be?
PLEASE HELP!
]]>I host my wordpress install out of my house, and just today I discovered that the index page of my site and some other key pages are not getting served. the wordpress version is 2.7.1 i believe.
The odd thing is I host a lot of other flat files and things from the same machine, as well as a virtual host of another wordpress blog. The other blog, https://domestickate.com loads just fine, no issues whatsoever. However, the blog https://mycomputerninja.com does not load.
The tricky thing is I have not changed anything in nearly a month. My last blog post was probably 3 weeks ago, and aside from the 4 times a week backup, I havent even touched the server asside from ssh logging in and out once in a while to copy files.
The troubleshooting i have done so far is to do a wget on the domain name which returned:
–23:38:13– https://mycomputerninja.com/
=> `index.html’
Resolving mycomputerninja.com… 98.245.152.86
Connecting to mycomputerninja.com|98.245.152.86|:80… connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response… 500 Internal Server Error
23:38:14 ERROR 500: Internal Server Error.
On further inspection, I cranked up the logging on my MCN virtual host to emerg and the only output that looked abnormal was this:
127.0.0.1 – – [01/Sep/2009:23:41:15 -0600] “OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0” 200 – “-” “Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.7 with Suhosin-Patch (internal dummy connection)”
127.0.0.1 – – [01/Sep/2009:23:41:15 -0600] “OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0” 200 – “-” “Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.7 with Suhosin-Patch (internal dummy connection)”
98.245.152.86 – – [01/Sep/2009:23:41:33 -0600] “GET / HTTP/1.0” 500 – “-” “Wget/1.10.2”
the last line shows the wget retrieve attempt, and all I get is a 500 error. It seems to have a lot of those “internal dummy connection” messages, like the server is being DOS’d from the inside, but that doesnt make sense because any other page, including php pages served from the site work just fine.
I have tested other basic php pages, and they seem to come back fine.. i did the phpinfo() test in the MCN server root directory and it returned just fine and the permissions matched that of my index.php wordpress page. I also can retrieve a jpg residing in the MCN server root without issue.
I have looked into the .htaccess situation, but i do not have an .htaccess file anywhere in the file structure in the root of the server, so i assume that not having one would imply that ownership and file permissions will govern the rest of the files access.
as far as plugins go, i AM running a pretty old version of wpcache and a couple other legacy plugins, but all have been in use for more than 2 months on 2.7.1 with no observable issue on my end.
another curious thing is that trying to just go to https://mycomputerninja.com doesnt pop up a 500 error or anything. you just get a blank page and nothing else. the only way i saw the 500 error was through wget.
as a final note, i too have been getting quite a few spam users creating accounts on my site over the past week or so. usually that is a sign for me to upgrade to the latest wordpress version and delete those users, all of which i did. Today, despite the server giving the 500 error, i did a manual upgrade of the wordpress files to see if the overwriting of all the files would correct it in case someone managed to hack the site, but it only did the same exact thing.
I am pretty much at a loss as to where to go next on this one. I have lots of backups already burned to a DVD for nearly a 4 month period on my server, so i am not really worried about loseing data or anything like that, but i really would like to not have to take drastic measures to get things working again.
Let me know if you have any thoughts on where i can look next to figure out what might be going on.
Thanks in advance.
