Some of you guys may have noticed that my blog was down sometime last night. I don’t know how long it was down but I noticed it around midnight (eastern time) and it seemed to affect every single one of my blogs that are self-hosted Wordpress blogs.
If you came to this site, you probably received a message similar to the one below:
“Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@datmoney.com 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 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while
trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”
Of course my initial reaction was to contact my hosting company regarding this. I have no idea what was wrong but all of a sudden when I woke up this morning, everything seemed to be back to normal.
I received an e-mail back within a couple hours from my hosting company and it seemed I looked like a complete nutcase because they told me that everything seemed fine and all my sites worked.
So, IndoContest e-mailed me directly informing me they were seeing the same error message. First of all, I want to thank you for taking the time out to do that, definitely appreciate it. Indo also suggested that this happened because it seems that I run 25 process at a time. And I guess this happened to Indo before and someone tried to hack their blog.
Was someone trying to hack my blog(s) as well?
The weird part about this whole thing was the fact that I have some static html sites on my hosting server and those seemed to appear just fine without any Internet Server Errors so that just tells me it was strictly anything that was Wordpress related.
Now, I was pretty upset at this fact especially since I have a few blogs that I run that I don’t tell people about. Of course, if they saw the Internal Server Error message, then they probably figured out who runs that blog. Eh, it was bound to happen but I’m still going to try to play it off like it wasn’t me.
So, was someone in fact trying to hack my blogs? Was someone trying to jack my affiliate links to direct to theirs? Has this happened to anyone else before?
Any information would be greatly appreciated. I want to get to the bottom of all of this.
It’s almost 2 or 3 hours your blog gave an 500 Internal Server Error Jay.
It’s look like you didn’t mask any of your affiliate links for this blog.
Have you check your site stats?.

Check the php error log and apache error log fies.
Indocontest - I haven’t checked it yet… I didn’t mask my affiliate links because I haven’t found the right plugin for that yet. Well, none that works too well. Any suggestions?
Wesley - I checked it last night and it was giving me a repeated message. I’ll copy and paste it later when I get home.

I get that error every once and a while. It usually happens when I have multiple tabs open in WordPress, editing posts, installing plugins etc. (all at the same time). It usually returns to normal again after about 20 minutes.

I got that error too when having too many tabs open when i’m installing, edittin or whatever. I just wait and everything seems ok after awhile
YEah, that pops up from time to time for me too… but it is usually gone pretty soon. It is some form of database error… but I am no coder!

That’s weird. I never heard of this problem. Check your log files and you should discover what the error was, assuming it was not related to the DB going down from another user.
No idea, seriously that never happened to me since I started blogging. Hope everything is fine now
