# Getting HTTP ERROR 500 >> Website is down

 * My website doesn’t work. I haven’t done anything special, nor did I add any new
   plugins/themes or any other features.
 * [It worked very well for more than 7 years straight]
 * I woke up yesterday morning, logged into the internet as usual and surfed directly
   to my website technologer.net – and NOTHING – blank page with a http error 500
   message.
 * I have no access to admin login page or any of the pages/directories whatsoever.
 * I have contacted the hosting team and together we made a few attempts to solve
   the problem:
 * – Disabled all plugins and themes
    – Changed the .htcaccess file name – Restored
   files from previous dates – Tested PHP (running) – Installed WordPress to a different
   dir (and it’s working).
 * Unfortunately, non of the above worked and the site is still down. I have read
   previous cases and solutions but nothing solved the problem.
 * Please help me out with any good Idea or suggestion.
 * Thank You

 * Try checking your site’s error logs for a more specific error message. Your hosts
   should be able to help you accessing your site’s error logs.

 * Thanks! I have checked the logs (I have the FTP access) but unfortunately the
   error logs folder appears to be empty.
