Installing Plug-ins: 500 Internal Server Error

    My first problem, I think, lies with my host–1and1. I can’t upload plug-ins from my wp-admin. I have to FTP them into the plug-ins folder.

    But, the main problem I am having is when I’m trying to activate them, I get a 500 Internal Server Error. Is it possible that I might have overridden an executable file of some sort? Is there something I can re-upload without losing everything?

    Thanks in advance.

    Exact same issue here – odd because I was initially able to install the all in one seo package without any trouble. I’m wondering if that plugin is caused the issue – have you installed that plugin too?

    Actually I fixed the problem:

    1. Open the .htaccess file in your site’s root folder

    2. Add these lines:

    Options All -Indexes

    AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

    AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

    That did it for me. Let me know if this works for you.

    Hi,
    Im having the same problem but now I cant even edit my posts! Ive changed the .htaccess to access.txt and uploaded it in filezilla to no avail. I also tried adding a php.ini with memory=20MB and still nothing. Im worried Ive added and subrtacted so much that soon nothing will work!

    help!

    @fashiondecoder: There is a chance that WordPress tries to show you a message with a problem; but because it’s sending a server response code 500, some servers just show you their 500 Internal Server Error page. Try changing the server response code from 500 to 200 in wp-includes/functions.php and see if it helps.
