Multiple WordPress websites showing 500 error

  • I have multiple wordpress websites hosted at Rackspace under Cloud Sites.

    Some common plugins I use are Advanced Custom Fields, Google Analytics, and the rest is custom programming most of the time.

    Obviously you can’t comment on my custom programming, but I am wondering if others are running into the same issue with wordpress v3.5.1 running under Linux with PHP 5.4. I think we also have the latest version of mysql. I am seeing the 500 error more and more often now.

    I’d like to get them to go away. any suggestions?

    I’ve increased memory to 128 MB and even to 256 MB, but that doesnt seem to help.

  • There are a few options (based on what you have provided for info)

    A) Ask your web host this.
    B) Provide site links for us to check. (Alternately, scan site at Sucuri, check at W3 Markup Validation Service, check at GTmetrix.)

    500 errors could be differing issues.

    i scanned my site and all that with those tools you suggested. I do see some loading time issues, but i am not seeing anything that should cause the 500 errors. With this particular website there is alot of legacy code in the pages and we are in the process of rewriting the whole website.

    I was more interested to see if others had experienced 500 errors as common part of the website.

    Sorry if i did not provide enough info, i meant to keep my question generic to see what would be the most common things to look for on a wordpress website where you get 500 errors very frequently.

    So thank you for your answer — i did use all of the tools and there were a few things that it caught that i fixed, but still my site which is getting no traffic because its on a development domain still shows 500 server errors.

    I will talk to my webhost to see what they suggest.
