500 internal server error on production status: debugging
Just like the title says. Its been happening on a few of my sites (hosted on Dreamhost).
PHP version: 5.2.1 No errors in diagnostic. Might be related to plugins (I have been getting sporatic errors when I try to save a plugin after editing it manually).
I will try to test this on a different server later this week. Couldn’t find a record of this happening to others in the forum. Thoughts??

Re: 500 internal server error on production status: debugging
Usually when a 500 Internal Server error occurs, the web server records a more specific error message in an error log file. If you can get access to that, we can probably identify the cause.

Re: 500 internal server error on production status: debugging
Textpattern works fine with PHP 5.
If the problem occurs intermittently, see here.
