500 internal server error
 

Out of no where I get this 500 internal error message, haven't changed anything major in the forum for weeks the error log is clean. All I've been getting before is persistent DB connection errors.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Can you post a link to your site?

ALso the db errors would be good to see. Internal server error doesn't always mean your server is up the duff, you'll often find that there wil be "Addintional Error 404, document could not be found" which in most cases if the page...etc exists then it's likely a .htaccess issue if you haven't changed anything.

I tried renaming .htaccess before posting, the error was the same, and yes I did get an additional 404 error

Then if you've changed things recently you may have a typo an extra space or dot or something.

Thanks for those who replied, turned out that it was the host's issue and was fixed.
