 * I’m having 500 Internal Server Errors on my blog this morning, intermittently.
   I can occasionally get into my admin panel, and every once in a while I can pull
   up the actual blog, but for the most part, access is completely blocked.
 * I host my blog and personal website on GoDaddy, but the part of the website that
   is not WordPress affiliated is working fine, so I know it’s not that. Is this
   just a temporary error that will go away?
 * Here’s the exact error message:
    Internal Server Error The server encountered
   an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
   Please contact the server administrator 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. Apache
   Server at katiecurridphoto.com Port 80

 * It could be temporary. But if the error is still there now, did you do anything
   in between the time your site worked and didn’t work? Either with the blog, the
   server or the domain registrar? Or is any bill possibly not paid? Also, ask a
   friend to view the site from a different computer.
 * If the site is definitely out and not caused by your work, contact Godaddy support.
 * But if you did anything to cause this, try to un-do everything you did and start
   again, step-by-step. Or maybe you are using a poorly made theme or plug-in: use
   only ones that have high numbers of downloads and high ratings. Also be aware
   it may take 12 hours to cause this error.

 * 500 errors are generic in nature. I would suggest looking at your servers error
   logs to see if you can pin point the actual error.
 * Since it’s intermittent it sounds to be more of a server side issue.
