I am so annoyed. My blogs were down for over 12 hours…
You may encounter this and you may easily blame your bandwidth or your hosting service for the issue but my sites went down last night. It was receiving a 500 error and a 404 error. Logging into my hosting service to review the logs causing the issue, I found index.php errors all over the place but didn’t know what it meant.
I got on the phone with my hosting service this morning and was told that there were a lot of processes running and the they have fixed the issue. The website was up and running however, I cannot navigate within the site. It gives me an Apache error that I could hardly understand. When I called my hosting service again, I was told that it is because the folders where the URLs for the links to my posts are pointing are GONE!!!! What?$%^&*()_(*&^%$$%^&*()!!!!! There was nothing they can do. They don’t perform backups they said…and even if they did – it was for pure courtesy only. Hmmmfff!!!
I went to the WordPress Forum and read something at the very TOP of the list that has something to do with the index.php. It is a bug that is known if you upgrade to Version 2.6. The bug is fixed on version 2.6.1 so until 2.6.1 is released – you will have this issue.
It is a permalink setup that would save your life should you encounter the issue I just did. You will find the issue resolution here. As soon as I followed their suggestion, I was able to get back all my pages with no issues. Most important lesson earned? Back up your stuff!!!

[9:35:30 AM]: what is causing the error?
[9:35:40 AM]: Ist there a server issue on your side?
[9:37:39 AM]: hello
Bill [9:38:18 AM]: several dozen php processes had crashed from your index.php once the server had reached max processes it could not start any more and because of the way it crahsed it could not clear the crashed ones
