Hi Samboll,
Many thanks for that.
Much appreciated.

I did as you suggested re renaming plugin folder.
Site was then accessible in that I could access the WP login page.
However, every link I clicked on the dashboard then seems to give the same error, i.e.
“Error 500 – Internal server error

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

Currently, my WP dashboard informs me I’m running 2.8.5 & that 2.9.1 is available.
Q. Should I upgrade or wait for a more ‘stable release’ as has been intimated in the first post above, where that person is also getting a 500 error?

FYI: my hosting company, 1and1, says ask WP support….
A second person there said I need to make changes as follows:
what are your thoughts please?

“…you need to parse the php version of your webspace from php4 to php5. In the folder where your domain is pointing to, what you need to do is to insert this text
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

inside your .htaccess file.

It will then remove the internal 500 error but will display another
error.
What you need to do next is to create a php.ini file, put this
file inside the folder where your domain is pointing to and then
insert this text
memory_limit = “128M”

inside the php.ini file.”

Not sure what to do with a php.ini file: is a a text file??

Many thanks in advance for your kind assistance.

Hi, I’m also getting an “Error 500 – Internal server error”.
I cannot get to the log-in page for WP.
How do I therefore de-activate the plug-ins please?
(Do I simply view the directories using a file manager equivalent & delete the plug-ins then reinstall them one by one to see which one caused the problem or is it the latest version of WP that is causing this (I updated WP around 6 weeks ago.) ??)

Thanks.

Hi folks,
Had the same problem (“Error 500 – Internal server error”) & my host had the same answer: check with WP!

Any answers much appreciated please.
Thanks ??
