 * i have no idea why i am getting this error- i have contacted my host provider-
   they dont know. I looked at my error log- it says file does not exist? But all
   my wp are up on the server- so any ideas?
 * could it be my hosting company- they are one of those super cheap ones- does 
   it make a difference who you use?
 * thanks!

 * If it works, and then it does not, then it does, email your host and enquire 
   as to when they will stop playing games and fix their server 🙂

 * Error 500 is usually caused by server problems or incorrectly setup scripts. 
   Most of the time, it is server problem.
 * You may want to check if there are any permission setting problems or existance
   of .htaccess file in the WP directory or root directory.

 * what would the .htaccess file be a problem? I did have one there, I thought that
   was needed for SSI files? Interestingly enought, i went to go find it on my server-
   and it was not there and I did not remove it- and when i tried to load it up 
   again- it wont let me…

 * i also meant to add that the .htaccess file was in the root directory of my site,
   not in the WP folder.
 * thanks!

 * htaccess is just a text file use to control the access to the pages in a directory.
   It is not for SSI files.
 * I once enter the wrong command in the htaccess file and got lock out of my admin
   page. After removing the file, everything is back to normal.
 * Some FTP client do not display htaccess file by default. If you are using WS_FTP,
   you can enter the command “-al” to show the htaccess file.
 * Give it a try and keep us posted.

 * htaccess file in the root directory will affect ALL directories and files in 
   the root.

 * i am using cute ftp- i can not see the file- nor can i figure out to display 
   it so i can delete it.
 * I always thought you needed the htaccess file for ssi- if i did not have it, 
   then those files that genereated my copyright or nav systems would not show up-
   thanks for the info!
