Hi,
Two months ago, I have converted one of my website to Joomla and uses Windows Server 2012 and IIS8 to run it.
I have installed the Joomla using WPI and my database is MySQL where in I manage using phpMyAdmin.
Lately, I encountered this 500 Internal Server Error when opening my Joomla website mywebsite.com but when you attempt directory browsing such as mywebsite.com/images or mywebsite.com/pdf will work or if you have a direct link to file such as mywebsite.com/thisispdf.pdf will also work.
To restore the website, I have to restart the website from the IIS, or I have to restart my server, this will bring back the up state of the website.
The problem occurs on 45 hours cycle.
Any idea what causes the problem? Any settings on my server or IIS I miss?
