Hello, and thank you for your question about the 500 internet server error. It does indeed look like your website was encountering a 500 Internal Server Error. The actual root of the problem was with PHP and being hidden from display. I went ahead and turned on PHP error logging for your website and noticed this error being logged: PHP Fatal error: [Zend Guard Loader] Extension "Zend Guard Loader" cannot be loaded twice in Unknown on line 0 Knowing that Zend Guard is enabled by your php.ini file, I took a look at this on your account and noticed these lines at the very bottom:
zend_extension="/usr/local/Zend/lib/Guard-5.5.0/php-5.3.x/ZendGuardLoader.so"
zend_extension="/usr/local/IonCube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.3.so"
zend_extension="/usr/local/Zend/lib/Guard-5.5.0/php-5.3.x/ZendGuardLoader.so"
So it looks like the Zend Guard PHP extension was getting loaded twice and this was causing a conflict. I went ahead and removed the last duplicate entry and this resolved the 500 errors on your website. Please let us know if you're still having any issues at all. - Jacob
