500 Internal Server Error error

  • Below is the error.

    Internal Server Error

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

    Please contact the server administrator at [email protected] to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.

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

    Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    After getting the above error I went out reading different blogs and tried the following.

    renaming .htaccess file to .htaccess_old and then the sites get live and then moving to settings and in wp admin updated the permalinks.

    Problem is:

    When I do the above the sites give out the same error while updating permalinks so I delete the file and rename again.. the permalinks got updated but then again the same error. If i keep on changing and deleting the .htaccess the site appears but as soon as i click on any other tab the error appears again and i have to redo the same.

    2ndly I have changed the permissions to 755 but it did not work either.

    My ht.access code appears like this:

    “# BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} google|bing|aol|msn|yahoo|yandex|ya|rambler|mail|nigma|ask|lycos|teoma|talktalk|softonic|search|gmx [NC]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress”

    What should I need to do???? please help.. everything was working fine and all this suddenly happened.. why is it happening automatically.i had deactivated all the plugins but still got the same problem. i have almost tried everything with no resolution….

  • Please, show us error.log And restore .htaccess default `<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    My guess is that there are some invalid characters in your .htaccess file.

    Internal server errors (error 500) are often caused by plugin or theme function conflicts, so if you have access to your admin panel, try deactivating all plugins. If you don’t have access to your admin panel, try manually resetting your plugins (no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the default theme for your version of WordPress to rule-out a theme-specific issue. If you don’t have access to your admin panel, access your server via FTP or SFTP, navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue.

    If that does not resolve the issue, it’s possible that a .htaccess rule could be the source of the problem. To check for this, access your server via FTP or SFTP and rename the .htaccess file. If you can’t find a .htaccess file, make sure that you have set your FTP or SFTP client to view invisible files.

    If you weren’t able to resolve the issue by either resetting your plugins and theme or renaming your .htaccess file, we may be able to help, but we’ll need a more detailed error message. Internal server errors are usually described in more detail in the server error log. If you have access to your server error log, generate the error again, note the date and time, then immediately check your server error log for any errors that occurred during that time period. If you don’t have access to your server error log, ask your hosting provider to look for you.
