Repair 500 Image Load Error

Job ID: 40139489

Budget: $10 – $30 CAD

My picture-based site suddenly stopped showing every gallery and thumbnail; each image request now returns a 500 error. No “file not found” hints—just a server-side failure whenever an image is called.

I need a quick, clean fix that restores normal image delivery. That means digging through the LAMP stack, Apache logs, PHP handlers, .htaccess rules, file permissions, or any optimisation middleware that might be misbehaving. When the issue is resolved, please give me a short summary of what went wrong and the exact changes you made so I can prevent a repeat.

Deliverables
• Images load correctly on all pages with zero 500 errors
• Brief report detailing cause and resolution
