500 Internal server error nginx

[levron]

I recently was having a database problem when people went to my website, which was caused by the /tmp folder to not have enough space in it.

And now when i try to login to my forums i get this error message:



Anyone have any idea?
Thanks.

Your /tmp should have around a 500MB or > partition size, as a general rule. Any idea what yours is? Are you on a shared server?

My host just cleared my tmp folder, my whole website wasn't loading before it was cleared.

But i was getting this error while my website wasn't loading either, because i could access www.mysite.com/forums

What changed that caused this internal server error? Was it sudden, or did you add/remove an add-on/hack? I would highly recommend doing a backup of your database now.

I didn't change anything, it just came when my tmp folder had no space left and i couldn't access my site.

But now i can access my site but i can't login to the forums

It sounds like this might be an issue you need to take up with your host. I'd say open a support ticket with them if nothing else has changed with vBulletin itself.

I'd like to see if it is a vBulletin issue before i go contacting them again.

Well, if you haven't changed anything at all on your vBulletin lately, including upgrades, add/removing hacks, add-ons or templates, changing any settings in the vB admin panel or removed/moved anything related to vBulletin, then I would say it's not an error with vBulletin. The only other thing I would suggest you check is to see if there's any additional files that might be there (malware) by comparing the contents of the original /upload folder in the ZIP downloaded from vBulletin.com with the forum folder on the server to make sure there's nothing suspect there since you obviously can't access your vB admin control panel.

Check your server's error logs - Internal Server Errors should always write an entry to there.
