Wow - Really Confused, In Over My Head
I am looking for a bit of help. I currently have a dv with mediatemple (VPS) and today my site returned an HTTP 500 error. I have messaged back and forth with MT a bit to trouble shoot the issue and they sent this back showing what my logs were saying:
"taking a look at the Apache error log for your (dv) Dedicated-Virtual Server, located at the following path;
/var/log/httpd/error_log
There appears to be references to Python and several modules (mod_python, mod_bw) being unable to spawn processes due to memory related issues.

Currently, your (dv), is only using 241MB out of 512MB allocated, so the issue is not due to lack of memory available but simply configuration or status of your specific hosting environment. "
Well, I am a bit of just of a casual user who doesn't know really a lick about Apache, Plesk, Parallels etc. I try my best to get around, but it is not really an environment that is native to me. I am looking for any and all help to get things back up and running, I just don't know where to start or where to turn to. For relevance, the site that is returning the error is a wordpress site using MySQL. From my understanding this is an apache issue primarily and that falls beyond my scope and knowledge. I will say that I was able to rectify the configuration issue of the hosting environment, but everything else is still relevant. Any insight and input is greatly appreciated.
