Re: Wordpress Internal Server Error 500! Help Anyone Plz!

5 replies
Hi Guys,

I have a really annoying problem with Wordpress.

Basically it is all installed properly i have done loads of Wordpress blogs however this one is being a pain - it is the latest version.

Although when you click on the site or in the admin area you will get a 500 error code.

Not all the time as well this happens intermitently!

You can see the blog here:

PS3 Repair Guide - Get A Simple PS3 YLOD Fix

Just go there and press f5 till the error comes up.

I have had a look on Google and there is nothing really that helps, one post said something about the .htaccess file but there is not one, I even made a blank one and still get this error.

Anyone know how to fix this or had this problem before?

    I'm by no means an expert but I think a WP install without a .htaccess is the problem. But first ... how are you trying to view the files. Sometimes "dotted" files are hidden.

    IF you're sure there is no .htaccess file .... I believe the minimum WP .htaccess needs the following:

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

    I checked two of mine and this is the case.

    I hope this helps!

      Was this a clean install? Or did you migrate the files from another location on the server, or another domain perhaps? A lot of times when you do this, and don't have the proper .htaccess setup, then it will generate these errors.

      Another possibility is the permalinks. Try setting the permalinks to the default in WordPress. Then try to access the same posts/pages. If it works, then it is an issue with permalinks. If it doesn't it is likely due to the .htaccess file. A blank .htaccess file won't do anything for this problem. Copy the code posted above and put it into your .htaccess file. This should fix the problem.

        Cheers guys for your help that is awesome.

        ASUService I am copying that code thank you so much for taking the time to help.

        I think however my problem was my router!

        I power cycled it and do not have the problem think sometimes they can hang or some data gets caught somewhere!

        Thanks again awesome guys!
