Error 500

Have you tried:

– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

– switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?

– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

And please post any future requests for help with your site’s problems in the How-To & Troubleshooting form.

Tried all of the above. any other options ?
Thanks.

I’m having the same problem. I cannot access either the pages, media or posts page off my dashboard. I can still access links, comments, appearance, users, tool, plugins and setting pages though.

The error I get is:

Error 500 – Internal server error

An internal server error has occured!
Please try again later.

I have deactivated and deleted all my plugins and still no hope. I have also replaced both wp-includes and wp-admin files with the original downloaded version via my FTP client.

I have previously had to add a .htaccess file to the wordpress route directory in order to get rid of the same error around 2months ago. Could this error be something to do with that?

Thank you

Hi, what code do you have in your .htaccess file?
I am trying to create one.
Thanks.

If it helps I am using Windows Vista, my FTP client is Filezilla and My database host is 1&1.

The code I have is

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

@cutlerjm

add this code to top of your ‘.htaccess’ file. solved all my problems!

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

where do I add the code?

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

thanks

No problems.
