The dreaded Internal Server Error

  • Running an older version of WP and am getting the following error on log in. I suspect that it’s plug in related based on past posts but I’m not sure. Anyone having this at the moment? I obviously can’t disable any plugins but I can try deleting them from the server. Any thoughts? There are a bunch up there (including WordPress.com stats which I guess COULD be the same as wp-stats which has given some people this problem before…)

    Tried deleting that plugin and it didn’t fix anything. Tried deleting a few more and got all sorts of errors about missing files (google analytics dashboard, wp-backup) so at least I was able to see something different… Any thoughts?

    Couple of other things I tried that didn’t work: deleting my custom theme and creating a php.ini file with memory=20MB

    Get rid if that php.ini file. 20M is nowhere near enough. Try:
    – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme by renaming your current theme’s folder inside 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 your current version of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

    I tried removing and reuploading some things and now the log in screen itself says the following on top. Ugh. What does it mean

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/07/4657207/html/wp/wp-content/plugins/search-and-replace/search-and-replace.php:1838) in /home/content/07/4657207/html/wp/wp-login.php on line 337

    Reset the plugins folder.

    I just tried that but now it’s giving me tond of errors mentioning the search and replace plugin, but that one is there. Ack it’s acting like it doesn’t see it. Annoying.

    Got it back to the internal server error by eliminating a couple of plugins. Gonna try resetting the plugin folder but I can’t log in to the admin area so I’m not sure what good it will do. Thanks

    I think that worked! Gonna have to check some more later… Thanks for all your help
