    I seem to be getting a 500 internal server error on all my sites that are hosted with BlueHost recently. Anyone else been getting them?

    Maybe a setting was changed so if you're using any scripts, they no longer work?

    The sites are working on and off. I access one, which works one time, and an hour later theres a 500 error, than it works a few minutes later, than goes back to the error some time later.

    It's been like that all day now, with all my sites. I'm just waiting for BlueHost to reply with their "take" on it.

    One of my sites hosted there is onipblog.com, everything seems fine. I guess we're on different servers. :)

    I'm having no problems. Apparently all sites on server 126 I think, have been down for sometime.

    OK,

    BH said my sites had PHP processes that were running. They should be closed.

    Here's a part of their letter:

    "There are a number of php processes still open, which means that the cpu is still trying to run some php scripts. PHP scripts should be closed right away, but yours are staying open. Right now you have about 10 php processes open. The server will start throwing 500 errors after 15-20 of these processes open. These scripts usually stay open because they are written inefficiently, and are getting hung up on some part of the script."

    They go on to say that I have to troubleshoot my code, how do I do that? And does anyone know how to close these scripts?
