 * Hi there
 * when i tried to solve some problems with our website today, i had to change the
   file wp-config.php. I changed the wp-memory-limit and saved the file. Everything
   still worked. Then I changed the php max time limit. I saved it again and then
   I got the message HTTP ERROR 500. I can neither log in to my website nor can 
   I drag the backup wp-config.php file into the WP File Manager. As soon as I try
   to edit the file, I get the message _Invalid backend response. Error occurred
   on the server side. HTTP error 500_
   I urgently need help!
 * Thanks in advance to everyone trying to help..
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhttp-error-500-no-admin-access%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi [@topspeedcenter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/topspeedcenter/),
 * Have you tried enabling Debug mode? The debug mode will give further information
   on what causes the 500 error.
 * You can find more details about debugging here:
   [https://learn.wordpress.org/tutorial/debugging-in-wordpress/](https://learn.wordpress.org/tutorial/debugging-in-wordpress/)
 * Once the debug mode is enabled, you’ll have to replicate the issue and the related
   errors will be saved to debug.log. The error should give a better idea of what
   exactly might be causing it.
 * Best Regards,
   Nithin

 * thank you for the suggestion [@wpmudevsupport11](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudevsupport11/),
   but as already described, I can no longer access any files. Therefore I cannot
   activate debug mode or see other files such as wp-load.php or what ever file.

 * Problem solved!
 * I contacted my Web Host and could acces my root folder from there. Changed the
   wp-config.php from the backup and the website is now working again.
