Title: Install multiple problems Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Install multiple problems * Resolved [Mandrake7062](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mandrake7062/) * (@mandrake7062) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/install-multiple-problems/) * I’m having a lot of problems here and I’m not sure where to start. I have FTP access. * Activated BulletProof Security .htaccess File The htaccess file that is activated in your root folder is: BULLETPROOF PRO 5.D DEFAULT .HTACCESS * Either a BPS htaccess file was NOT found in your root folder or you have not activated BulletProof Mode for your Root folder yet, Default Mode is activated, Maintenance Mode is activated or the version of the BPS Pro htaccess file that you are using is not the most current version or the BPS QUERY STRING EXPLOITS code does not exist in your root htaccess file. Please view the Read Me Help button above. * wp-config.php is NOT htaccess protected by BPS * Deny All protection NOT activated for BPS Master /htaccess folder Deny All protection NOT activated for /wp-content/bps-backup folder * I’m not sure what to do at this point. I’ve upgraded to the latest BPS and this may have compounded the problem, I don’t know. * The original install took place with my website ftp login as: x And my WordPress logins at: y Not realizing this might be a bad thing I tried to create all the files I needed with text editors, and ftp and rename them into place I now login with both WP and FTP site the same now. * Any body care to help me sort this out. 404 on any test page. Not that I want to build a site until this is straightened out. Kenny * A valid BPS htaccess file was NOT found in your wp-admin folder. Either you have not activated BulletProof Mode for your wp-admin folder yet or the version of the wp-admin htaccess file that you are using is not the most current version. BulletProof Mode for the wp-admin folder MUST also be activated when you have BulletProof Mode activated for the Root folder.

Is this VPS or Dedicated hosting? Do you have root access to the httpd.conf file on the Server? * Thread Starter [Mandrake7062](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mandrake7062/) * (@mandrake7062) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/install-multiple-problems/page/2/#post-4009116) * Probably VPS, Vertual? In any case, there is no access and/or httpd.conf file that I can see in my root dir. * Plugin Author [AITpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aitpro/) * (@aitpro) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/install-multiple-problems/page/2/#post-4009121) * Ok the default BPS .htaccess file that you activated did work so we know that. htaccess files are allowed on your website so forget this approach. I was going in the wrong direction. I think I have gone way to deep on this one altogether. I believe your Host has already done Server configurations that allow WordPress and WordPress plugins to do what they need to do. 😉 * Let’s eliminate a couple of things. Change the file permission of the root .htaccess file to 644 and let me know if the 500 error goes away and the site loads. * Thread Starter [Mandrake7062](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mandrake7062/) * (@mandrake7062) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/install-multiple-problems/page/2/#post-4009122) * Done, nada zip, 500 internal persists. * Thread Starter [Mandrake7062](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mandrake7062/) * (@mandrake7062) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/install-multiple-problems/page/2/#post-4009123) * Internal Server Error * The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. * Please contact the server administrator, [no address given] 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.

If you still see a 500 error then change the wp-admin .htaccess file permissions to 644 and test. If you still see a 500 error then delete the wp-admin .htaccess file. * Thread Starter [Mandrake7062](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mandrake7062/) * (@mandrake7062) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/install-multiple-problems/page/2/#post-4009128) * Back up.

We are currently working on DSO automation coding in BPS and my noodle is stuck in DSO mode right now. LOL * Ok so did changing the wp-admin .htaccess file permissions get the site back up? Or just deleting the root .htaccess file? * Thread Starter [Mandrake7062](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mandrake7062/) * (@mandrake7062) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/install-multiple-problems/page/2/#post-4009132) * I deleted the root .htaccess file.

Your site should still be up at this point. Go to the BPS Edit/Upload/Download page and click on the “Your current root htaccess file” tab and add the word “Test” as shown below after BEGIN WordPress and click the Update File button. * # BEGIN WordPress Test * Did the file edit/update save this edit or did the save not work? * Plugin Author [AITpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aitpro/) * (@aitpro) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/install-multiple-problems/page/2/#post-4009135) * > I can not login to WP though. * You need to delete the wp-admin .htaccess file for now to be able to login. * Plugin Author [AITpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aitpro/) * (@aitpro) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/install-multiple-problems/page/2/#post-4009136) * is /ywing/ a post or page on your site? * Are you using a WordPress Custom Permalink Structure? Once you log back in go to WordPress >>> Permalinks and add /%postname%/ in the Custom Structure text box and save this. On LAMP you have to add index.php/%postname%/ but since you have a hosted Ubuntu site/Server then you probably do not need to add index.php in front of /%postname%/ * Thread Starter [Mandrake7062](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mandrake7062/) * (@mandrake7062) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/install-multiple-problems/page/2/#post-4009137) * default.htaccess uploaded and renamed .htaccess Site is up, but I can’t login. 500 persists. And when it comes up the top dashboard is there but it is a dead stick. and does a 500, nor can I login. * Thread Starter [Mandrake7062](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mandrake7062/) * (@mandrake7062) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/install-multiple-problems/page/2/#post-4009139) * Y-wing was intended to be a page but I can’t upload pages with BPS in this state.
