apache on your server was down due to inproper mod_security version installed. I've removed fauly mod_security and restarted apache. Should be ok now.
Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

actually no, to build proper version of mod_security for apache 2.2.9 which is on your server it has to be compiled with apache itself, and for this I would need to do a quick rebuild of apache on your server.
Please advise.
