New Installation – Site errors

A 500 error means that there is something wrong on the server side. This type of error is not very specific, since it could be a number of things. It could be something as simple as incorrect permissions on that folder.

Check the server error log to see if anything obvious stands out.

Went to the server error log and found this:

[Sat May 18 17:01:07 2013] [error] [client 66.249.73.48] Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use ‘LimitInternalRecursion’ to increase the limit if necessary. Use ‘LogLevel debug’ to get a backtrace.

Any Advice?

im a novice at this and have abosultely no idea how to interpret that link…

Try deleting your .htaccess file. (Save a copy of it locally—on your hard drive.) See if the error goes away.

nope. Deleting that wouldn’t allow me to load wp-admin at all. Reuploading it bought back the internal server error.

Try switching the site theme to twentyeleven by going to the:

Multisite Admin Dashboard – > Sites -> galexiagroup -> Edit (appears below when hovering).

You will see an settings page, find stylesheet and template and change them to twenty eleven.

This has resolved similar issues for me upon creation of new multisite sites.
