500 internal server error

Question

I am facing 500.0 Internal server quite frequently with my website.

The error details are given below.

HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error
C:\PHP\php-cgi.exe - The FastCGI process exceeded configured activity timeout

Module  FastCgiModule
Notification    ExecuteRequestHandler
Handler PHP_via_FastCGI
Error Code  0x80070102
Requested URL   http://mydomain.com:80/index.php
Physical Path   C:\HostingSpaces\coderefl\mydomain.com\wwwroot\index.php
Logon Method    Anonymous
Logon User  Anonymous

When I contacted the support team, they're saying that my site is making heavy SQL Queries. I am not sure how to debug this. But my site is very small and the database is optimized. I'm running wordpress as platform. How to resolve this issue?

Hope this link is useful: http://www.bokko.nl/fastcgi-process-exceeded-configured-activity-timeout/

Quick Info:

Here is how to set the configuration with IIS 7.0:

%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config -section:system.webServer/fastCgi /[fullPath='C:\php\php-cgi.exe'].activityTimeout:600

You need to change the 'C:\php\php-cgi.exe' to the actual location PHP that you registered with IIS.
