500 Internal Server Error

  • Hi

    I’m trying to access /wp-admin/edit.php for to edit my posts. When I do so I’m getting this error:

    Internal Server Error
    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

    Please contact the server administrator, email and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

    More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

    I have contacted b-one, but not much help to get from them. The suggested that I removed the .htaccess file. I could only find one .htaccess file at that was at root level. It did not help removing that one.

    Does anyone have suggestions about what could be the problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    Best regards,
    MrBenz

    Anyone? please.

    Can you go into your wp-admin folder at all? Or is it just the edit.php page?

    Just the edit.php page.

    edit-pages.php for example works fine.

    I have deleted the htaccess file at root level incase that should have anything to do with it.

    anybody?

    Has it ever worked or is this a new install?

    Is the host running mod_security?

    It has worked, but I upgraded from wp 2.0 to 2.0.4 and it could be after that it stoped working. I’m not sure.

    I’m using b-one.net as host. It has worked just fine before. I know the run php in safe mod, but I think they have always done that

    Does anyone know if b-one.net is running mod_security?

    What did b-one.net support tell you when you asked them?

    I just said that the could not find anything in the logs. And that I should remove the htaccess file and everything should be ok. If that didn’t work I had to contact WordPress.

    Not much help in other words.

    Does anyone know if b-one.net is running mod_security?

    you can check that yourself, if you didnt already ask them?

    <php phpinfo(); ?>

    have a go: https://www.catonett.com/phpinfo.php

    welp, its apache, no output for the installed modules though.

    Do this :

    add an .htaccess to your wp-admin directory. In it you want the following:

    SecFilterEngine Off

    If it is mod_security thats tieing you up, that will fix it. If it doesnt fix it, its not mod_security. Atleast you can rule that out.

    A 500 error would show up in a log somewhere it’s just whether you can see the log (and it sounds like your hosting company don’t want to help)… Do you get a control panel you log into to make changes to your site?? If so, is there an error logs section in it anywhere?? Logging is turned on in your PHP config, but there isn’t a file name specified so I’m not sure what it does in that instance… Does anyone know if there is a default error log name???
    Have a look in the directory that edit.php is in and see if there are any files that were not in the original WordPress install which might be an error log…

    Does anyone know if there is a default error log name???

    for php errors, yes, its called error_log.

    When making a empty .htaccess file that only has SecFilterEngine Off in it, I couldn’t access anything within the admin area.
