Bluehost 500 Server Error

  • I have new bluehost account. I have manually installed WP and I have used Fantastico. I get the same result. With the manual install, I get 500 server errors when trying to go to the Admin site, and any other WP site for that matter. If I use fantastico, I *might* be able to login and then when I do, if I go to widgets, options, plugins, etc, I get a 500 server error. When I check the error log, I’m getting several premature end of script errors.

    Please help as I’m finding little to no information on people having this problem.

    The main site looks fine (www.mtzionyouthgroup.org)

  • I browsed to your site in FF 1.5. Every link I clicked on came up fine. However, none of the images for your theme are coming through – unless you are doing that intentionally for a basic look.
    Same in IE.

    Sure everything looks fine on the front end. But when I try to access the backend for updates, changes, simple administration, I get the 500 server error.

    Thanks!

    Totally a s.w.a.g. here… but that error gets me to wondering what would happen if you configured PHP’s max memory parameter to be a bit larger. Often it defaults to 8MB (or smaller). Depending on plug-ins, that isn’t always enough.

    It is set in php.ini, but I believe there’s a way to set it in .htaccess as well (I think).

    Really not sure how that applied, but that didn’t work either. I completely uninstalled everything related to WordPress. I then followed the step by step directions on the www.remarpro.com site. I downloaded the latest build, created the username, database, password, changed the wp-config file, uploaded everything, ran the install.php completed the steps, obtained the wp-admin login password. I try to logiin and get a 500 server error.

    I went through the support of clearing my cache/cookies on my computer, redoing the wp-login file, etc – nothing.

    Any ideas?

    You did a lot, but you didn’t answer what your php max mem is — or if increasing it made any difference.

    If that’s greek to you, check with your host.

    I increasted the php max to 16 megs. It did not make a difference. I increased in the php.ini file.

    thanks

    Thanks everyone. Bluehost said it was a “Zend problem”. They have fixed it, all is right with the world!

    Chance are it is not “Zend Problem”

    read about this from bluehost support:

    some script can cause error 500, especially when its use up too many server resources
