When creating a simple blog post with pictures and a bulleted list would send me to a blank page with a "page not found" error. I was a little confused with this, and wasn't really sure where to even start. The first place I checked was my watchdog log in Drupal. The only thing that it showed was the page not found error and it showed that I was trying to access a page called "500.shtml."

I came in this morning to find that our Main College Website wasn't accepting logins to the site. When I would try to login it would redirect me to the page it was supposed to but not log me in so that I could have access to the admin stuff. Since I couldn't login I didn't have access to any of the Watchdog log to see where the issue is coming from. I immediately went to forums to see what I could find.
