500 internal server error

[soul_669]

I have SMF forums installed on my site and it was working perfectly until about 5 minutes ago know when ever i try to do some thing that makes a save to the database such as posting or changing an avatar i get the error as displayed in the attachment. i have also included a screen cap the server status. how can this be fixed.

Edit:
I also have my php already upgraded to intermediate.
Here is a copy of my .htaccess file

RewriteEngine on
Options All

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^game-modders.co.cc$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.game-modders.co.cc$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "tgm\.exofire\.net\/" [R=301,L]

I ready that some have deleted there file and have solved the problem but this is not case for me, also my website no longer has the - in it.

Thank you.

I'm just wondering why this needs to be under Scripts & 3rd Party Apps when its an internal error?

I have also just testing this on another hosting company and it is working perfectly fine.

Because this has to do with SMF - not our hosting.
htaccess files can throw back 500 errors at times, there is probably something wrong with it.

[soul_669]

ok.
how can see if my htaccess are functioning properly

Try a search for mod_security at either my site (link in sig) or at simplemachines.org I'm sure you will find your answers.

I searched for mod_security on your site and removed the current htaccess file and placed this in,

<IfModule mod_security.c>
   # Turn off mod_security filtering.  SMF is a big boy, it doesn't need its hands held.
   SecFilterEngine Off

   # The below probably isn't needed, but better safe than sorry.
   SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

Unfortunately i still get the same error.

Edit: i have also placed a copy in the root directory of my smf installation but it still comes up with that error.

Have you checked file permissions and ownership. I remember when I was here being hosted sometimes files had to be re-owned for me.

[soul_669]

do i need to check these files:

• attachments
• avatars
• Packages
• Packages/installed.list
• Smileys
• Themes
• Themes/default/languages/Install.english.php
• agreement.txt
• Settings.php
• Settings_bak.php
• install.php

or other files.

Edit:
Much appreciate for you help guys my site know seems to be working fine.
and as a precaution i have decided to make a full back up, just in case.
