500 internal server error

hello,

i become sometimes 500 internal server error.

But only sometimes.

How can i fix this problem?

when I see 500 error, often times it is the .htaccess file has errors.  However you are seeing it only at times.  You can look at the log files to see if they can help pinpoint the issue.  If you could constantly repeat the error, then it would be easier to track it down but randomly makes it more difficult.

500 errors:

The Web server (running the Web Site) encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request by the client (e.g. your Web browser) for access to the requested URL.

This is a 'catch-all' error generated by the Web server. Basically something has gone wrong, but the server can not be more specific about the error condition in its response to the client. In addition to the 500 error notified back to the client, the Web server should generate some kind of internal error log which gives more details of what went wrong. It is up to the operators of the Web server site to locate and analyse these logs.

try to increase connection timeout and see if that solves the issue ... long processes could be causing this to happen and increasing the connection timeout should help

hello,

i try it but no luck :-(

any ideas??

Error 500 is an internal server error.  This could have all sorts of reasons, but since it's not constant, but only happens now and then, it is script related. Ad Detective08 already pointed out, it could be that a timeout caused the issue.However, since you increased the time out and it still happens, your server most likely run out of memory before it could complete its task.

How long did you increase it to?  Did this start happening after you added something?  You need to try and pinpoint what is the cause and do that you need to do a bit of sleuthing.

when I installed a script to import blogs, I found I had to set a fairly long time because with a lot of blog entries to import, the script needed a lot of time to complete.

check error logs.
