Error 500 on my website
I have a 500 error on my web the website is a journal management and publishing system. Right now I can upload Word files but I can not upload PDF files. when I try to upload PDF files the browser displays Error 500. How do I fix this problem?
Thanks for getting in touch with us! 500 errors can be caused by a lot of different things. The first two things I would check are:
Possibility 1: Can you access the server itself (a different site, a control panel, SSH, email, etc.)? If not, your IP address may have accidentally been blocked.
Possibility 2: It could also be a database issue. I'd double check that the database configuration information on the site matches the configuration information elsewhere. You can always use cPanel to reset the database password to what it is 'supposed' to be if you have that sort of account.
If it is not one of those scenarios, I would check the error logs. Which ones to check (and where to check them) can vary from one server configuration to another, so if you need assistance with that please get in touch with our 24/7 Technical Support team and they will be able to assist you directly!
