Can't acccess my website (HTTP Error 500)

    I was updating four plugins, when WooCommerce suddenly failed to update, and caused my website to show: Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute.

    A fix to this is to delete the .maintenance file in the FTP, but after having done this my site became completely unaccessible…

    I get a HTTP error 500 saying that my page can’t be accessed. I will contact my provider later on, but seeing as my site was working fine, and failed to update and is now offline, I can’t see it as my provider’s fault.

    Okay, so I have just got my website back online, by renaming the Plugins folder. It allowed me to go to my admin panel again, I then renamed the Plugins folder back to ‘Plugins’ and all of my plugins are showing up (deactivated) except for WooCommerce… anyone know what I should do now?

    The error is ofcourse caused by this plugin.

    Okay, so I fixed the whole thing. Knowing that it was a plugin (WooCommerce) that caused my whole website to crash I deleted the whole WooCommerce folder in my FTP, hoping that all my products etc would be stored somewhere – which was the case. I then reinstalled WooCommerce and everything is fine now.

    So for anyone who might look at this post hoping for a solution to a similar problem, these are the steps i took. Google is helpful guys, this http error 500 can be caused by multiple things.
