# Plugin conflict?

 * Hi,
 * We’re using the latest version of WordPress (4.8.2). Our site crashed the other
   day with a 500 Server Error. We disabled all of our plugins (30+) to restore 
   the site, and did troubleshooting by enabling them one-by-one. Enabling WP Ecommerce
   again crashed us with the same 500 Server Error. (Disabling WP Ecommerce again
   and re-enabling crashes the site each time we try.) We were able to re-enable
   all other plugins except WP Ecommerce.
 * Short of the even-more-disruptive and time consuming next troubleshooting tests
   as detailed in this forum’s sticky post, I’m wondering if anyone has run into
   any _particular _plugin conflicts recently, so I can check if we might have the
   same ones?
 * Can I also try uninstalling WP Ecommerce and re-installing a fresh copy, in case
   we might have a corrupted file? I’m usually able to update WP Ecommerce normally(
   we haven’t hacked the plugin or anything like that). Would we loose our WP Ecommerce
   settings or product information or, as I expect, are those stored in the database
   and not in the plugin files?
 * Thanks!

 * Check the error logs to see exactly what the error is.
    Make sure you are on 
   the latest release which is 3.13.1 and no removing and installing again will 
   not remove your products since its all in the database.

 * Thanks!
 * At the time of the crash, the logs looked like this; don’t know if there is anything
   helpful here:
 * Apache errors:

 * And thanks for confirming about the re-install. I’ll give that a try, just in
   case.

 * Those look like server related issues and the second one could be related to 
   the first apache errors.
 * Do this. Enable debug in the wp-config.php file
 * define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
    define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);
 * And see if you get the website to crash again then check the debug.log file under
   wp-contents/
 * You could also add define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, true) to show any errors on the
   screen

 * Thanks for this good suggestion. I will probably not be able to take the site
   off-line for more testing until next weekend. I’ll try then! Thanks again.

 * The problem seems to be resolved. I was unable to shut down the website for further
   troubleshooting till the weekend. By the time that the weekend arrived, I put
   it in maintenance mode and then re-enabled the plugin (with debugging enabled)
   expecting another crash; no crash occurred. The store is now working again along
   with the rest of our site.
 * Several other plugins that we run had new versions released during the week. 
   I updated all of those before re-enabling WP ecommerce. I’m guessing that a plugin
   conflict was the problem, and that the conflict might have been resolved with
   the updates to those other plugins?
 * Anyway, thank you for your help and suggestions!
