  • Hi sweatinphish,

    Sorry you’re having trouble with that vague Internal Server Error. I did a little research and some people solved similar error by increasing PHP memory limit. Easiest way is by following these steps:

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks ChristiNi, i increased the memory limit to 96M but am still getting the same error

    Hello again sweatinphish,

    Because the error is vague, this may take a few tries to get to the bottom of this, but I do have some more suggestions and things for you to try:

    The three common causes of this error message are:

    • Incorrect permissions settings, usually due to having a file as “world” write-able.
    • Incorrect permissions settings for use by another script (this is common with manual installs of forums or blogs)
    • Incorrect coding in the .htaccess file

    Start by checking your file permissions, folders should usually be 755 while .html .php and other document types should usually be 644.

    Next, disable all plugins to make sure this is not an issue caused by a plugin. If you can’t get to the plugins area of your dashboard, you can manually disable a plugin by renaming the specific plugin folder or you can disable all plugins by renaming the plugins folder itself. You can rename folders by using either FTP or your host’s File Manager.

    Try resetting your permalinks by changing your Permalinks to something other than the current structure and saving the changes. Then, change Permalinks back to the current structure and save again.

    Let me know if this works.

    ChristiNi thank youuuuuuu.

    i checked my .htaccess file and found out it was empty, so i created a new one and overwrote the existing one. thank you for your suggestions, its working fine now.
