Internal Server Error

  • I have installed WordPress and can go to the homepage, but am unable to view any links and always get the “500 Internal Server Error” message.

    THe domain is loganfrederick.com, yet the files are in the folder gamesource.biz/blog.

    The Internal Server Error says the webmasters email is [email protected], which is probably a sign of the error.

    Any ideas on how to fix this?

  • 500 Internal Server error can be caused by a mis-configured .htaccess file. Try renaming .htaccess to something else and see if the page loads then.

    I renamed .htaccess to .htaccessa (something random) and then the About page got a:

    Not Found

    The requested URL /about was not found on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    Any other ideas? Specific .htaccess fixes?

    it’s 404’ing because you renamed .htaccess and it can no longer find the permalink redirect rules. Which shows that the .htaccess was causing the error.

    Can you post the contents of your .htaccess?

    Or switch back to standard permalinks, delete the .htaccess. Check single posts are working. Then try re adding your custom permalinks and see what happens.

    Here’s .htaccess:

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

    # END WordPress

    OH SNAP!

    You’re awesome.

    So I reset the permalinks to normal and now it’s working. I changed them again, still working!

    This has been puzzling me for days.

    Replace with:

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

# END WordPress

    ah you got it working the other way ??

    Your .htaccess was setup as if your installation was located yourdomain.com/blog/ instead of at yourdomain.com
