500 Internal Server error

  • I think I was trying something with the permalinks and it broke the website.
    I get “500 (Internal Server) error” on GoDaddy.

    I tried reading up and it lot of people recommended (and main page) to upload the .htaccess file (I had none). Which I did and it didn’t change anything. Still can’t access any part of WP (including admin).

    I also can’t change permissions on the file through FTP (I get an error that they are not applied). Through GoDaddy control panel it does have max permission – including write permissions from application (but don’t think they are 666 level).

    Website is: https://www.alramzan.com/wp/

    Content of .htaccess:

    # 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

  • Ensure your directories are 755, and most files – except for explicitly required otherwise are 644

    ^ Go daddy doesn’t allow permission through FTP.
    With their own control I have maximum permissions (which are also default permissions). Don’t think its a permissions issue – they were not touched.

    Go daddy allows only following 3 permission + 1 option (to reset):

    Inherit (Inherit permissions from parent directory)
    Read (Directory contents are visible to users)
    Write (Applications can write to this directory)

    Reset all children to inherit (All subdirectories will be reset to inherit from current directory
