 * Hi,
 * When trying to login to the admin board of my site by using example.com/wp-admin/
   it says “site does not work”.
 * The site itself runs ok.
 * Have not touched this site in ages which is probably part of the problem. Also
   did not use wp in a long while so I probably have forgotten some key feature 
   but I’ve tried to read in without finding a solution.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fexample-com-wp-admin-does-not-exist%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * At first I was going to assume it may be a plugin/theme conflict. But when I 
   went here:
    [http://claesmarkopark.se/wp-login.php](http://claesmarkopark.se/wp-login.php)
   My web browser developer tools said the page was returning a 500 Internal Server
   Error. But I also went here: [http://claesmarkopark.se/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php](http://claesmarkopark.se/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php)
   And that also returned a 500 Internal Server Error, when the correct response
   for trying to access the admin-ajax.php file would be a 200 OK from the server
   and I should have seen a “0” (without the quotes) in my browser. Since I should
   be able to access the admin-ajax.php file directly, that might indicate a different
   issue and not a plugin/theme conflict (of course I could be wrong if there is
   a plugin on the site modifying server configuration files like .htaccess, php.
   ini, .user.ini, etc.).
 * So I looked up the site at builtwith dot com, and it says the site is using WordPress
   4.2 on PHP 7. If that’s the case, you’ll probably want to examine the site’s 
   server error logs (especially the PHP error logs), as my initial guess would 
   be that something on the site is not compatible with PHP 7. As WordPress 4.2 
   is quite old, and I believe PHP versions recommended at that time were 5.3 to
   5.6.
