In case anyone else runs across this issue, it turned out that my host had, on their end, installed “new devices to help improve the performance of customer websites on shared hosting platform. As a result of the new hardware, CGI scripts (Perl, PHP) and databases that use real directory paths such as /nameOf/directory/path/here/host.website cease to work.”

The host was able to change the directory path so the user.ini file (and possibly the php.ini file) were pointing to the right (new) place(s).

I did end up having to disable all plugins and reinstall them one-by-one to be able to access the login page, but I think that was a separate issue. Just wanted to say thanks to the community for the assistance and resolve my case for posterity.

@t-p – thank you; I have already tried renaming the .htaccess file (including just now) and it did not resolve the issue.

The error persists whether I have no .htaccess file, a blank .htaccess file, a core/stock WordPress .htaccess file, or my .htaccess file that has been altered/hardened by BPSecurity.

If it helps at all, I also receive a 500 internal server error when I attempt to read phpinfo().

@robvas – I am sorry, but I am not sure what you mean.

The server error logs are all variations of the following:

The only thing that seems to change is the timestamp and the particular attempted session tag. “aus.vas.ind.seareg.org/index.php” is also new, though.

I manually reset the plugins using phpMyAdmin; the error persists.

I renamed the directory of my currently active theme (twentytwelve) via my host’s FileManager; this also did not solve the problem. I tried logging in on a completely clean browser on different devices.

Thank you – I am fairly certain that I updated a couple of plugins (though I cannot recall exactly which ones) and then edited the content of some pages.
