CGI Error?

    This has never happened before (www.pathsatlanta.org). But now anytime I add content or try to change a setting, it breaks the back & front ends, and gives this:

    “Server error!
    The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script.
    If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
    Error 500″

    My tech support at the hosting company says:
    “The issue has been caused by the directive “Options”. Probably you are using a plugins which is changing the .htaccess file or the WordPress script is making the modification due a glitch or a problem”

    Each time, they go in and either comment out the options directive from the .htaccess or something. It makes the site visible, but then when I add content or do something on the back end, I get the same results over and over.

    Any ideas how I can fix this?

    Be patient! No one here is being paid to help you.

    Try deactivating all plugins and check to see if this resolves the problem. If it does, activate the plugins one by one – checking the post after each re-activation – until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    Thanks esmi. I know no one is being paid to help. It’s just disheartening when it seems like all the other questions are being responded to except for mine.

    I will attempt the plug-in check.

    Okay all. It took some hand-in-hand work with my hosting company to sit there and comment out the directive on the .htaccess each time I did something, but we found it was the “Download Monitor” plug-in which was giving us trouble. So, just to let you know, if you were thinking of using that plug-in, it can be problematic depending on your setup.
