I'm getting the dreaded 500 Internal Server Error on my wordpress blog and I'm at a loss for how to fix it, as is my hosting company (Dreamhost) apparently. The error only happens on certain posts. Some posts load just fine and the home page and all the site's pages work fine. I can't find a common thread that makes the posts that work, work while the others fail.
I've tried increasing the PHP memory limit (via a php.ini file) disabling all plugins and creating a new .htaccess file. None of that worked. Dreamhost also "restarted the Apache instance my site resides on, as well as flushed my MySQL instance." That still didn't fix the problem. Then the folks at Dreamhost suggested that I change my permalink structure to use only the post name and that I should use only one category per post (some posts were listed under multiple categories)... I did both of those things and it still didn't fix the issue.
So here I am, at a loss with some posts on my site working and others not. Does anyone have any advice or thoughts on how to fix this? I'm really desperate for a solution here! (you can visit HowManly.com to see what I mean... the 5th post on the homepage is one of the non-working posts, the other 4 work).
Here's the 500 Internal Server Error I get:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Thanks in advance.
