# Internal Server Error

 * Hello,
 * I have a website hosted with GoDaddy and managed using WordPress for the company
   I work for internet-genie.co.uk. I work on it myself though the SEO of the site
   is done by someone else.
 * Up until recently the site has worked fine but now I keep getting an Internal
   Server Error whenever I am working on the site in the admin screens (though I
   do not think it affects the site if you are using it without logging in though
   if anyone does come across it if they could let me know I would appreciate it!)
 * I have fairly limited experience with the error but when it said server I contacted
   GoDaddy being our hosting provider. They told me it is likely to be a plug-in
   or a theme issue with WordPress and to check the forums on here.
 * They did tell me to try to disable all the plug-ins and then re-activate them
   one by one but I am fairly new to this and I am unsure as I do not want to deactivate
   a plug-in and have it affect the website – if I re-activate them should all the
   plug-ins keep their original settings or do they need to be reconfigured? ALso
   they said it may be a theme issue but I have used WordPress Twenty Twelve before
   on pretty much every website and it works fine.
 * If someone could help me diagnose what is causing this and also how to fix it
   I would be very grateful.
 * Thank you in advance!

 * Your site seems to be working OK, on the front end at least.
 * If you’re hitting occasional server error messages, the very first place to check
   is your log files. You may have to speak to GoDaddy about how you view them but
   by their very nature, log files are there to log things like errors. Without 
   viewing them, you’re wandering around in the dark.
