I am having this same problem. I purchased a new domain and host package and installed WordPress. Even though it was a fresh install on a clean server, the Admin page doesn’t load properly and appears to be lacking the CSS. I’ve tried disabling all plug-ins (only 2 come with the default install), re-installing automatically, re-installing manually, updating the htaccess file (per instructions in the forum), and I’ve even deleted all files and DB content and tried manually re-installing from scratch. Nothing seems to work. The Admin page lacks CSS, which makes it very difficult to use. Does anyone have any ideas?

I’ve been getting one on almost every post I make. I’m tired of deleting them. Anyone have any ideas on how to prevent these from posting, aside from closing the comments?

Please disregard my request for help. I deleted the entire database, deleted all of the files on my server, and started completely from scratch. I lost a half-dozen posts in the process, but I had already started to redirect traffic from my old site and I needed to get it back in working order in a hurry. Fortunately I had the CSS theme I created so it didn’t take me more than 90 minutes to reinstall WordPress, re-upload all of my files, re-configure my settings, and type out a post. This is a TERRIBLE bug in WordPress that needs to be fixed right away. All of my problems started when I tried to change the structure of my permalink. As soon as I clicked the “Save” button, I got the “500 Internal Server Error” page. It took me almost three hours of attempts to fix it before I decided to just delete everything and start over from scratch. I still don’t know how to fix this without deleting everything, but I think that the problem resided in line 40 of the wp_options file in the database that deals with the permalink. However, if that is the problem, I have no idea what would need to be done to fix it. WordPress is too wonderful to have such a fatal flaw as this. Hopefully it will be fixed very soon!

HELP! I made the terrible mistake of changing my permalink structure, and now I’m getting the “500 Internal Server Error”. I can’t access anything, including the control panel. I’ve tried everything I could think of, including deleting the .htaccess file, uploading all of my WordPress files again, and I even logged onto my server and used the PHP manager utility to access the wp_options file and tried changing line 40 to something that will work. But I am still getting the “Internal Server Error”. Can anyone help me? Is there anything I can do to get my blog back?
