500 Internal Server Error

I keep getting this error as i try to post to Rhymes With Right. Can anybody tell me what is going on, and whetehr the problem is on my end or at the server?

Updated by Pixy: AAAARGH!

(Sorry, I'm at work and we're having major computer problems here right now. Give me an hour and I'll be back.)

(At least that worked.)

(In fact, it seems much better now.)

(Let me know if you have any more problems. I blocked a spam/ping flood attack, which might have been causing the problem, but I'm not sure that was it.)

(There's still some worthless excuse for an organic life-form trying to DoS us, but he's too stupid to have any significant effect.)

(Test test.)

(Test some more.)

1 That's a server error, but as far as I know the server is okay. Let me check.

2 I was able to make (and then delete) a test post on your blog. Are you still getting the error?

3 I'm getting the same error intermittently, but more no than go.

4 Here's the message I'm getting:

5 Still getting it -- in particular on the one entitled "Does That Star-Spangled Banner Yet Wave?

6 Well, the post is now up, but I still get the error.

Posted by: Greg @ at July 03, 2005 11:45 PM

7 And my notification is the same as Ted's.

8 Hey!

I'm still getting that error. The only way I can post is to try to save, then rebuild. But, when I do it that way, I can't ping anyone.

I've been having that problem all day.

; )

Thank you!

9 Well that's not good.

I'm looking into it now.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at July 04, 2005 01:57 AM

10 Hey, I just got one too! Just from posting a comment!

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at July 04, 2005 01:57 AM

11 No I didn't, I'm just going mad...

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at July 04, 2005 01:59 AM

12 Still getting it with my latest post, though the rebuild lets it through without notifying my trackback sources.

Posted by: Greg @ at July 04, 2005 02:02 AM

13 Okay, I've restarted the web server, now I'm going to try another test post.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at July 04, 2005 02:03 AM

14 I was able to post one entry but my 2nd got this error. No matter if I just tried to save or publish, I got this.

Posted by: Sissy @ at July 04, 2005 02:05 AM

15 If you click save or publish a couple of times, it'll save it that many times. If you then rebuild, it'll publish (and if you happened to publish it 3 times and got the error, it'll be on your site 3 times)

Hope that info helps...

16 Is it also direly slow for everyone?

Just reading blogs is fine; posting comments is okay, but posting entries is slooooooooooooow.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at July 04, 2005 02:23 AM

17 Okay, posting comments is pretty slow too.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at July 04, 2005 02:23 AM

18 I'm going to restart the MySQL server now.

No idea if that's the problem, but it's not the web server, so...

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at July 04, 2005 02:26 AM

19 Done that. Poke poke...

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at July 04, 2005 02:28 AM

20 Hmmm.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at July 04, 2005 02:28 AM

21 Grrr.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at July 04, 2005 02:38 AM

22 Is it happy now?

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at July 04, 2005 03:05 AM

23 No.
Not very.

Posted by: Stevie @ at July 04, 2005 03:30 AM

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at July 04, 2005 03:40 AM

25 Okay, I can see there are still 500 errors coming up.

Still working on it.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at July 04, 2005 03:49 AM

26 Still being quite nasty.

Posted by: Greg @ at July 04, 2005 03:50 AM

27 Just smacked another idiot with a stick. Let's see if that helps.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at July 04, 2005 03:54 AM

28 Just saw another error come up.

AAARGH!

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at July 04, 2005 03:57 AM

29 How about now? Is it happy now?

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at July 04, 2005 04:17 AM

30 I just got a comment and a test post to post, so it seems to be... okay.
(Kinda hesitant to say that right out. Didn't wanna jinx anything...)

Posted by: Stevie @ at July 04, 2005 04:22 AM

31

I'll keep an eye on it.

It was a combination of denial-of-service attacks causing the problem. Bah.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at July 04, 2005 04:41 AM

32 Nope -- same stuff still going on.
