 * Hi everyone..
 * I’ve spent the better part of the morning trying to resolve this.. This website
   is hosted with Hostmonster, along with another website and both of them all of
   a sudden went down in the last couple days and yield a [an error occurred while
   processing this directive] error when trying to get onto them. I can’t even access
   the admin page.
 * I have checked and rechecked the htaccess files and folder permissions – which
   is mainly what the searches for this issue recommend. I’ve gotten nowhere.
 * Anyone have any ideas? Hostmonster is useless and they said this issue is on 
   my end and not their problem to fix – though I highly suspect it was something
   they did, otherwise both sites wouldn’t be down at once. FYI, I have done no 
   recent updates or plugins and everything was working a couple days ago.
 * The affected websites are:
 * [http://www.cowrc.com](http://www.cowrc.com)
    [http://www.usgmc.net](http://www.usgmc.net)
 * Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks!

 * Hi there!
 * Did you do any modification to the site before this happened? Any new plugin
 * Can you check the php error log?

 * No modifications were done to either site. I’m not sure where to look for a php
   error log?
