The 500 Internal Server Error is not only limited to users visiting your website from a browser. Web admins accessing from the cPanel, webmail, or Web Host Manager too get this error from time to time. In fact, it’s a relatively common issue encountered in webservers. Since there are so many reasons that can result in this error, fixing it can be intimidating. In this article, we’ll explain how to troubleshoot the 500 internal server error whostmgr.
What is 500 Internal Server Error?
Every time a web server serves a web page to a client, it throws a status code. 200 means it was successful, 404 means the page was not found, and 500 means there was a problem with the HTTP web server. You get the error message displayed on the screen.
The first line reads, “The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.” It also says that you can find more information related to this error in the server error log.
There are variety of reasons for this error, but we’ll specifically look for the one with whostmgr.
Internal Server Error Whostmgr
You can confirm that you’re getting the Internal Server Error with Whostmgr attribute if the message reads, “Server 500 // No response from subprocess (whostmgr (whostmgr)): The subprocess died from signal: 1”.

Another reason for the Whostmgr error might be issues with RPM database. This in turn can affect other files like the my.conf file. If that’s the case, then there might be duplicate or corrupt entries. To fix this issue, you need to rebuild the RPM database. Use the following command in SSH for this:
Finally, to complete the fixing process, you need to repair and optimize all databases. At times, large set of tables can crash at once which can cause problem with memory allocation or load balancing. The browser phpMyadmin or host manager cannot recover these crashed tables directly. To verify if this is the case, use the following commands:
Since this will be going through a lot of database tables, the complete process can take somewhere between 10 minutes to over 30 minutes.
If problem persists, it’s better to get in touch with your hosting provider and convey the error message for them to assist you.
