    Hello,

    I have a few WordPress blogs on my server and all of them are down showing this error:

    500 Internal Server Error

    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

    Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

    More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

    Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    Does anyone know how to fix this problem or have any ideas? It’s interesting to me why it’s all of them and not just one.

    Thanks!

    Oh, this is when you try and access any page on the site, including the wp-admin area.

    I have the same problem after I updated my .htccess file installing WP-Supercache.
    I cannot access any of my pages anymore, neither the admin console.
    Freaking out now, as I don’t know what to do..

    Anybody an idea?

    1. Check your WordPress files for permissions above 755.
    2. Check your WordPress .htaccess file. One of the rules may be incorrect..

    here is the file, where can I find if a rule is incorrect?

    # 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 have experienced this problem as well. However lately when I upgraded my WordPress from 2.7.0 to 2.7.1 it was working fine. Just after posting yesterday morning, worpdress site isn’t opening. I didn’t change any of the permissions nor did any other configuration on the Server.

    I would appreciate if somebody could get this thing resolved asap.

    I have two different wordpress on my website

    – http://jingoist.pk/blog (not working)
    – http://jingoist.pk/fea (working)

    This is quite new for me.

    I figured out my problem by reading the error logs of my web hosting.

    Sat Mar 21 08:11:55 2009] [error] [client 74.125.44.136] SoftException in Application.cpp:544: Directory “/home2/jingoist/public_html/blog” is writeable by group

    I just changed the permission of this folder to 755 and everything is resolved now!!
    Thanks to Thomas who actually shared the resolution here

    Hi

    I still have a problem logging in to the wordpress admin console. Looking at my error logs I see this error:

    SoftException in Application.cpp:252: File “/home/homeland/public_html/blog/wp-login.php” is writeable by group

    Any suggestion? Thanks

    Now I cannot login to the admin panel..again. When I enter my user name and password and cick Login, the page just refreshes on itself. I thought it might have been the password, so i got a new password but it doesn’t help.

    I originally had the problem op the OP (internal server error) but I fixed that by changing the permissions on the login file to 755 and that allowed me to view the blog.

    I think I may have to change permissions on other files but I’m not sure and i dont want to compromise on security either. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
