500 – Internal server error – There is a problem with the resource you are looki

  • I have a new hosting package and WordPress Installation.

    I can install themes no problems and upload images, play with files via FTP etc. However, whenever I try to alter the coding within the pages through WP dashboard I get the following error:

    SERVER ERROR: Error 500. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed..

    I have tried reinstalling a new version of WP but get the same errors.

    Can anyone PLEASE help as I can’t do anything to customise my site if I can’t alter this coding.

    Sorry.. I’m new to this. When I go into my WP dashboard and into the Design/Theme Editor and try to edit the pages that is when the error occurs.

    Hopefully I have the right info?

    I suspect you have a problem with your PHP extensions not loading.
    Try running php from the command line using “PHP hello.php -i”.

    It should show you any extensions that are failing to load – edit your php.ini file to exclude those or fix the path to the dll’s if they exist.

    You must chmod files to work on in theme editor to 666 to work and save them.
    After done, go back to chmod 644 for security.
