This is really weird. I went to bed last night and my site was working perfectly. I wake up this morning and I get this error:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@grommersoft.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apache/1.3.39 Server at www.grommersoft.com Port 80

I just don't get it. I checked the error log and it says:

error: file is writable by others

I checked the permissions for everything and they're all correct. I didn't change anything, so I'm just confused how it crashed like this. I'm using Joomla. I can still access sub directories, but only if they don't have php files in them. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Some more details about the problem. I just checked to see if it was .htaccess but after deleting it the problem still persisted. I then navigated to one of my sub directories http://www.grommersoft.com/games/ and could see the directory listing. However, whenever I click on any php file I'm confronted with the error. It seems to be something related to php? Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

Maxmouse try renaming your .htaccess to .htacces.bk

johnrip your website seems fine. Although your index is not working or you do not have one up.

I tried renaming htaccess. I got the same thing. I looked at the error log and saw this:

I don't understand how the headers could be bad when those files were working yesterday. All those files exist too. Then it sometimes complains that the files are writeable which they aren't just by the owner. Any ideas? Anyway someone can look at my account and figure it out? Thanks a lot for your help.

Yeah, Chris the permissions are at 755. So if you could have an admin take a look at it for me that would be great.

Should work now, your PHP version just didn't update.
