Website Down for 12 hours | Internal Server Error

Yesterday I transferred one of my websites to a new server. But its been over 12 hours, and the site is still down.

My site is now hosted on DreamHost Servers. Should I wait, or should I contact WebSupport?

 

Internal server error is definitely a web hosting server's problem so raise a support ticket immediately.

 

dreamhost sucks, contact them

highly recommend you try another host

 

checkout .htaccess file. There must be some errors in it. I had this problem while transferring to another host, and i fixed the problem by disabling a line causing this error!

 

Well, if your website is down, It is due to the nameservers or the hosting company, Its normaly the hosting company, They're the only ones you can blame. Just contact them.

 

Hi,

You need to check the ErrorLog file for the site to accurately determine the cause of the problem. If I am not mistaken dreamhost gives you full access to your site logs so you should be able to view this without contacting support.

 

an internal server error in most cases is either a permission problem or a bad code in the .htaccess file I would start by checking your .htaccess file.

Look in your error log and see what it shows,

 

As far i know Dreamhost uses suphp. That means you can't put any php_flag or php_value type of data inside your .htaccess file. If you have none of them inside, go to your ftp and CHMOD 755 to your all files, folders and subfolders including public_html. That should solve your issue

 

The above post is a good suggestion. It is probably your code rather then the server itself.

 

Thanks for the help guys... I really appreciate it...

There was an error in the .htaccess file.

The line was commented out.

The problem has been solved...

 

check error logs and file permission.
