    on attempting to look at my blog, I get an 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, webmaster@nburmandesign.com 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.”

    In the error log is this:

    [17-Jun-2008 15:26:54] PHP Warning: mktime() expects parameter 1 to be long, string given in /home/nburman/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/rss-pages/rss-pages.php on line 52

    I can’t get to wp-admin, and can only access the site via ftp. What can I do? I haven’t changed anything in the blog for a few days, and the last thing I did was post.

    Delete the rss-pages folder from your plugins folder. Does the problem go away? Also, for security you need to update your WordPress.

    The problem is still there.

    When I check the server error log, I get this:
    “SoftException in Application.cpp:252: File “/home/nburman/public_html/blog/index.php” is writeable by group”

    change the permissions on your files so that they arent group OR world writable.

    644 for files.

    755 for directories.

    LOTS of hosts cause the web server to choke when insecure files are accessed.

    YOU’RE A STAR! Thank you whooami. You saved me a fortune in Tylenol … 🙂

    – all I did was change the entire folder to 755, the containing folders to 755 and all files in the main folder to 644, and that fixed it.
