Help! I just had the same thing happen to me. My blog worked fine a couple of hours ago. Now I can even access it, getting an internal server error message instead.

Can anyone help me?

Here’s the message I get:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@internetmoneymachine.hotinfoproductreviews.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 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.0.63 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.63 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at internetmoneymachine.hotinfoproductreviews.com Port 80

So its one of their engineer’s fault? LOL they should refund you or give you a month’s hosting for free.

Anyways, what do you mean WP DB Manager doesn’t work for you anymore? You don’t find it effective or it gives our errors?

Waw, I didn’t know these things can happen for a blog. It’s good to know you knew how to fix it. If this happened to me, I’ll be panicking!

Was it really a hacking incident or just a server failure? One thing you must consider is that if you’re sharing a server with other users, vulnerabilities in their apps are effectively your holes too.

Good thing nothing malicious was done.

Good thing they didn’t mess up your files and other stuff. Like what J. said, it could’ve been worse. Anyways, its good that you were able to find out about it quickly and fix it.

Situations like these is a good reminder for all of us to always have backups both online and offline so if anything happens, you can always restore you blog back.

I recommend the WP DB Manager plugin which automatically creates backups of your blog. It can even send the backup file to your email account. The plugin also lets you optimize or repair your WP database. Really cool plugin.
