500 Interal Server Error

  • I have been troubleshooting for the past few hours and am still not having any luck, so would appreciate any help I can get! My WordPress site and admin panel are both giving 500 Internal Server Errors and I am not sure what I was doing when it happened. My main page is still working, just nothing in /blog. I do not think I downloaded any new plugins. I have already tried the following, one at a time, from my FTP:

    Editing functions.php file of my theme to add the following below
    <?php
    update_option(‘siteurl’,’https://globaljess.com/blog&#8217;);
    update_option(‘home’,’https://globaljess.com/blog&#8217;);

    Editing wp_config.php to add the following to the bottom:
    define(‘WP_HOME’,’https://globaljess.com/blog&#8217;);
    define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’https://globaljess.com/blog&#8217;);

    Renaming plugins folder to plugins_old

    Renaming my active theme folder

    Renaming the .htaccess file

    It is now loading the setup-config.php screen from both /blog and /blog/wp-admin, but when I input MySQL info from the old wp_admin.php doc, it takes a while to load and then sends me to the Internal Server Error page again.

    When I try to access my server error log from my FTP I am unable to open the file. It says Operation Failed.

    I am not sure what else to try.

    Thanks,
    Jessica

  • Your sql db details are correct are you sure about that

    have you gave correct permisison to db

    Being as you have an FTP client…

    Editing functions.php file of my theme to add the following below

    <?php
update_option('siteurl','https://globaljess.com/blog');
update_option('home','https://globaljess.com/blog');

    Remove this.

    Editing wp_config.php to add the following to the bottom:

    define('WP_HOME','https://globaljess.com/blog');
define('WP_SITEURL','https://globaljess.com/blog');

    Remove this.

    Renaming plugins folder to plugins_old

    Keep this.

    Renaming my active theme folder

    Did you rename just one theme or the entire main themes folder (the main one with all the themes in it)? Rename the main “themes” folder.

    Renaming the .htaccess file

    On your computer, create a folder named “htaccess Original” and download this .htaccess into it.
    In a text editor (Notepad on Windows, Text Wrangler on Apple), paste this code in and save it as “.htaccess” (no .txt extention – just .htaccess) to a folder named “htaccess Basic”.

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

    Go to the .htaccess on the site and delete it.
    Upload the new .htaccess from Basic folder – DO NOT overwrite the old .htaccess with this one – delete the old, upload the new.

    Login and see let us know what is happening.
