 * I am getting random internal server erros. It started 3 weeks ago randomly, I
   didn’t change anything on site during that period. It happens maybe every 10th
   visit to the web site, admin panel is also affected. Things I tried to fix it:
 * 1) Increasing memory limit 2) Making new htaccess 3) Reuploading wp confing 4)
   Reuploading wordpress core files 5) Disabling all wordpress plugins and changing
   theme
 * Nothing fixed it. Then I tried to run site on my PC with XAMPP and I am not getting
   error, I don’t know at this point what to do, could this be related to hosting?
 * This is the message from server log when error happens, I tried to google it 
   but answers are too generic…WP debug log is empty.
 * Premature end of script headers: index.php (104)Connection reset by peer: mod_fcgid:
   error reading data from FastCGI server

 * This seems like a server error, contact your hosting provider!

 * Please locate your PHP error log. It should contain the actual error that is 
   causing the HTTP500 error and generating the message in the Apache log.
 * You should also check your hosting panel to see if you are exceeding any resource
   limits imposed by your hosting provider.

 * Do you mean WP_DEBUG_LOG ? I enabled it but it doesnt have any error related 
   to http error, only some errors with different timestamps from internal error
   server.
 * I don’t have access to cpanel, only ftp because the person which gave us hosting
   is sharing it with his web page but i am gonna ask him if he can check. Thanks
   for help.

 * “because the person which gave us hosting is sharing it with his web page”
 * Do you think that maybe you or the other site or maybe another site yet hosted
   in that same account might be overtaxing that hosting account?
