A status 500 error means your server encountered an internal problem and could not complete a request. It can prevent visitors from accessing your website, interrupt checkout, or break API requests. I investigate the actual cause rather than applying random fixes.
I start by reproducing the status 500 error and checking the relevant server, PHP, Laravel, or WordPress logs. Depending on the application, I inspect recent code changes, PHP exceptions, database queries, plugin or theme conflicts, file permissions, server configuration, and API responses. This helps narrow down whether the issue comes from application code, a dependency, or the hosting environment.
Once I identify the cause, I apply a targeted fix within the agreed scope. I then retest the affected page, functionality, or API endpoint and share a short report explaining what caused the error, what I changed, and whether anything else needs attention. I work remotely with clients worldwide from Lahore, Pakistan.
This is a focused troubleshooting job, not a complete website rebuild or ongoing maintenance contract. The starting price covers one identifiable issue on one website. Multiple unrelated errors, major server infrastructure problems, hosting-provider outages, and extensive code rewrites require a separate estimate. If the cause depends on hosting access or third-party infrastructure, I explain what I can verify and what needs to be handled by the provider.
