# HTTP 500 Error

 * My site (www.teaguecampbell.com) began showing me this error as I tried to post
   a new news item this morning. I went through the steps I found in these forums
   and other places on-line (.htaccess rename, PHP memory) and now I can not even
   access my log-in page.
 * I have been in contact with my hosting provider and they have indicated it is
   an issue “on wordpress’ end.”
 * Does anyone have some suggestions or experience with this? Any help is very much
   appreciated.

 * Try checking your site’s error logs for a more specific error message. Error 
   500 is too generic to be of much use. Your hosts should be able to help you accessing
   your site’s error logs.

 * It was a memory issue. We were putting the php file in the wrong root directory.
   Thank you.
