Internal Server Error

Have you tried:

– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

– switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

– re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress.

Rename your .htaccess file to old.htaccess and see if you can get in?

Hello Esmi, Ipstenu

I do not have access to the control panel (to deactivate the plugins) too as that too shows the same error. I have even removed the .htaccess file but it is not working!

Thanks for your quick reply.

Try:
– switching to the Twenty Eleven theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

– re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress.

mairaj – reread what Esmi posted. Especially the part about resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

Tried everything suggested here and what I have found googling the web. Created a new blank plugins folder, deleting .htaccess but I could not access my wp admin.

Day before yesterday it automatically came back itself stayed for a day and I tried to find out the culprit by enabling and disabling plugins, my .htaccess file but could not find out the problem!

I have removed two additional themes that were installed. Today its gone again!!

Contact your hosting provider as the internal server error is intermittent, it sounds like the issue is with the server itself. I hope this helps!

Hello All,

My hosting provider is Godaddy. My WordPress installation lives at https://www-my-website-com/blog

I have an .htaccess file at https://www-my-website-com/.htaccess which reads as follows:

NOTE: My primary domain is different at this hosting, this is a secondary one.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.my-website.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.my-website.com/$1 [L,R=301]

# compress text, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and XML
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
# remove browser bugs
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
Header append Vary User-Agent

Is there anything wrong above? I want all non-www queries to redirect to the www version and gzip compression. My website is perfectly optimized with above code with no problems at all. I’m not sure if the code is causing problems for WordPress.

Kindly NOTE: deleting this .htaccess file does not help and I restore it.

Thank you very much for your kind help.

If removing this htaccess file does not resolve the issue, then it’s not the cause of your problems. Look at your servers error_log to find out the exact error causing the issue.
