Error 500 You Say
It seems my of my websites have been periodically down every other day for about 10 minutes for the last few weeks, leaving me and my users with a nasty 500 error page.
That is not the worst part though, the worst part is that I did not know why! D:
Although this has not affected my Switchblade site, It as affected my blog, main website, and a few other websites that are hosted on my account.
I've been checking the configuration, the .htaccess file, the index files, about everything to see if there could be little line of code that would majorly screw something up; I found nothing.
So I decided after the last outage that I would ask the lovely people on Hostgator's support chat.
I explained my problem, and within 20 seconds the representative that was working my case pasted my server's process list...
30 Mail Processes running at once(25 is max on my account), I figured that that the source of the problem was not my website in itself, but that I had synced every email account to my email client K9 on my Galaxy Note 2.
So I stopped the auto-sync on my phone and stopped all of the mail processes that was still running and everything suddenly worked.
Great job Hostgator ❤️
