Error Code 500
Internal Server Error
In my experience usually this is a web server configuration issue
@Simon - Reason I asked about bandwidth is to determine if I could offer something suitable IF the admins wanted to take me up on my offer. It was a long shot as I doubt they would want to move but it was worth a shot...
@Deadeye You're a nice guy trying to help
I suspect the 500 is just before the virtual server falls in a heap and restarts (iirc 500 is just something is foobarred but I can't report specifically what it is rather than specifically misconfiguration although that is definitely an option). The forum runs fine most of the time, so I guess the 500 is just appearing just before or after it goes titsup.com. I wouldn't have thought a hosting company would have mis-configured apache/mysql/whatever, but it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong (I would hope for their sake they know their business better than that).
I don't know which of the UKhost4u packages they have signed up for but it'd be interesting to know. I suspect the back up jobs run in the wee hours and suck quite a bit of CPU and memory away from the hosting.
It's all guess work until one of the admins hits the support people with a stick.
Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one. Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.
