 * I cannot access my blog:
    [http://mycaravan-myhome.infochalice.com/grey-nomads-launch-forth](http://mycaravan-myhome.infochalice.com/grey-nomads-launch-forth)
   I get “internal server error” I ponder whether it is connected to my being unable
   to change the permalinks setting from /%sample-post%/ to /%postname%/ The .htaccess
   file has the text supplied by WP and the write permissions are set at 755 The
   WP install was done by Softaculous and the wp directory is [http://mycaravan-myhome.infochalice.com/wp](http://mycaravan-myhome.infochalice.com/wp)
   and the blog site home page is [http://mycaravan-myhome.infochalice.com](http://mycaravan-myhome.infochalice.com)
 * I am out of ideas, so does anyone have a suggestion, please

 * I would confirm that your database is properly connected to your site. I’ve hit
   500 errors when my database settings were incorrectly set.

 * Appreciate your thoughts.
    I have checked the dbase and confirmed it is the same
   as in wp-config.php
 * Any further thoughts, please

 * 500 errors are server configuration errors, and are (normally) impossible to 
   debug from only that information.
 * You need to do either one or both of these two things:
    1. Look at your sites/servers error log to find out where the actual error is.
    2. Set `define('WP_DEBUG', true);` in your `wp-config.php` file so that the errors
       are displayed on the screen. This doesn’t work for all 500 errors so the error
       log above is by far the best solution.
 * By doing these you’ll find out what the actual error is, and be able to fix it
   from there. Without knowing what the error is, there’s no way of knowing where
   to even start looking for it.

 * Hi,
 * I am from the Softaculous team.
 * It could be the .htaccess in your root domain i.e. (infochalice.com) causing 
   the issue.
 * If you still face the issue please open a support ticket with us and we will 
   look into it.
