500 Internal Error

  • Hello All,

    Everytime I add something on the sidebar of my blog or make any basic change, I will get a 500 internal error. Its extremely frustrating. My blog is getting more popular and I’m afraid to make updates. It will go away once I clear the browsing history on explorer or firefox, but will come back again. My host Godaddy doesn’t seem to want to help in finding any log errors… Can someone please help or point me in the right direction. This is very painful. My blog can be found at

  • Is there anything in the error logs though?

    Where exactly can this be found? Is there a particular folder or file name?

    Hi I have a problem with a client’s site which is being hosted on HostGator,
    Also getting an internal server error when accessing the blog:
    https://www.moreclients.com.au/blog

    this is more difficult as we can’t even get into the admin section.

    i checked a previous blog which i can’t post to because it states the issue is resolved,
    but they ask for an error log,

    well here’s my error in the error log:

    [Wed Nov 26 04:09:04 2008] [alert] [client 75.126.250.173] /home/taki/public_html/blog/.htaccess: Invalid command ‘SecFilterEngine’, perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

    if anyone knows anything which might be helpful, would really appreciate it,

    also here’s a list of the plugins used:

    askimet
    audio-player
    communications
    image-upload-http-error-fix
    member-wing
    members-only
    register-plus
    stats
    wp-phpmyadmin
    ac_authenticator
    confirm-user-registration
    hello

    @natzca: SecFilterEngine is a setting in your .htaccess. Apparently your host doesn’t support it, or… something. In any case, you need to remove it from your .htaccess file (in the root directory of your install, most likely).

    @thebluesblogger: I currently don’t see a problem on your site, but it may be related to the .htaccess file as well. a lot of 500 errors come from something caused in the .htaccess. If you are using permalinks try changing them and see if you have that problem, or try renaming your .htaccess temporarily and see if you still have those problems with .htaccess disabled(renamed). There are a lot of things that could cause a 500 error, what confuses me is why it only happens when you make a change and why it just goes away after clearing your cache.

    @bernardborealis: thanks for the suggestion, I had a look in that directory and can’t find the .htaccess file, could there be a funny redirect that uses it in a different location?

    @bernardborealis:hey mate, i just found it, and deleted the SecFilterEngine info,
    and it worked! thanks heaps, i know how to trouble shoot for future issues too,
    cheers

    Hi natzca,
    I have the same problem.

    Where do you find the .htaccess file?

    Thanks
