 * Hi all! I’ve used wordpress 3.4.1 for my site and the home page appears fine,
   but when I click on the links in the homepage it shows an error
 * Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration
   and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator
   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.
 * PLEASE HELP ASAP!

 * Please make sure that all directories having permission 755 and files 644, and
   try again. Also try changing permalink structure to default.

 * It may be a plugin issue so give this a try.
    1. Using [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever filemanagement
       tools your host has provided you with navigate to the `wp-content` directory.
    2. Once there locate and **rename** the `plugins` directory to `plugins-old`. Just
       that rename that one directory and nothing else.
    3. Try and re-login to your WordPress dashboard.
 * If that’s not it then check your web server’s error log file. It should tell 
   you what is crashing or not. Your host provider may be able to help you with 
   that.
 * Once you’ve sorted out this problem you should consider backing up the works 
   and performing an upgrade.

 * Thanks a lot! Got it solved,it was an issue with the .htaccess file. I’d renamed
   the folder which obviously should’ve been mentioned in the htaccess file!
 * Thank you
