500 internal server error after update

    I've been running my website for years and now yesterday I update 2 files, the same way I always do, and when I try to load them in a browser I get:

    Internal Server Error

    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

    The log says this:

    [my ip] - - [17/Jan/2015:00:07:55 -0500] "GET /site/index.php HTTP/1.1" 404 - "-" [my agent string]

    Permissions are 644, same as for the other files. I haven't encountered anything like this before and am totally stumped. Can anyone help?

    If you updated your files before this happened, my first suggestion would be to roll back to earlier versions, and retest the changes before implementing. Usually an internal server error is returned if there is a logical error in the file, or if there's a problem with the server itself. An example on a 500-error would be using PHP 5.5++ syntax (which won't work on earlier versions).
    Since you don't post any code, we have no way to tell if there's a problem with the code, or the server.
