Strange website problem

[ricosuave]

Can anyone else view this website?

http://www.vwtdirepair.com/joomla/

Its giving me a 500 internal server error, "The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
The script had an error or it did not produce any output. If there was an error, you should be able to see it in the error log."

on every computer at home.

I used this:
http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/http://www.vwtdirepair.com/joomla/

which says its just me, but cant figure out why or how to fix it...

I get the same error.

If I go to the root of the domain (vwtdirepair.com), it shows a page, then there's some kind of redirect (javascript probably, because of the delay) to vwtdirepair.com/joomla

The "downforeveryone" site probably ignores the /joomla part and just checks the main domain, gets that first page, and happily reports it's up.

Either that or the 500 error page isn't an actual 500 error, just a 200 OK status being returned with the error being shown to read but not being picked up on by sites that check the status.

If I refresh and hit stop quickly, I can stop the site from redirecting me and I can see the actual VW TDI Repair website.

"Welcome to my Website! My name is Darell. On this
site, we show you some serious "wrenching" on the VW , Jetta, Beetle, and a 1999 Project Car MK4 VW Golf TDI. Forty-three(43) how-to repair projects are discussed in full detail for owner's of the MK4 Series VW Golf, Jetta, and Beetle series TDI's. So, if you want to save money on professional repairs ($129.00 per hour - Ouch) and learn to fix-it-yourself --- you have come to the right place."

There is a HTML redirect tag on the base URL:
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;url='http://www.vwtdirepair.com/joomla'" />I don't recognize the error page (Joomla?) - but what SHOULD be going on on this site is a server level redirect and/or URL re-writing so that the content displayed by the Joomla CMS appears on the domain level link. No user should ever know that content is being served from /joomla.

Definitely a problem on the server - nothing you can do about it in your browser.

thanks for the tips all

Ive tried to email the site admin and the mechanic as well, to no avail.
