 * Hi,
    I have the dreaded 500 internal error problem. I have searched google and
   here and nothing I have done so far seems to have made a difference.
 * It used to be fine and gradually over the last month I would say I get it 5 or
   6 times out of 10. This is usually in the admin panel (altering posts etc.) but
   sometimes on the site as well.
 * Anyone have any ideas please? The site is [http://www.averagejoesblog.com](http://www.averagejoesblog.com)
   and for reference my htaccess file is;
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
   
           RewriteEngine On
           RewriteBase /
           RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
           RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
           RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   
           # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * Any help always gratefully appreciated with cheese! Thanks 😀

 * Hey dude, I just got the same issue, for me it was the chmod setting for the 
   public_html (or WWW) file on my server. It was set to 775, that gives group access
   to a parameter that wordpress doesn’t allow, most likely security related. so
   you change the overall folder chmod setting to 755.
 * Good luck.
