# Plugin causing “HTTP ERROR 500”

 * We are moving the websites to webgo managed SSD vServer
 * When I enable Wordfence plugin, or with Wordfence disabled and bulletproof security
   enabled I get http 500 server errror, I cant access front or back end
 * I was able with Bulletproof security activated (but not their .htaccess file)
   to select delete settings on uninstall
 * With your plugin I can’t go to settings and do that.
 * Checking other cases, I tried in user.ini the correct path to the wordfence-waf.
   php file, I also deleted the entry in the user.ini file and deleted the wordfence-
   waf.php
 * But I still get 500 server error, I have to manually in ftp move or delete wordfence
   plugin folder and files.
 * I also get the same behavior with Bulletproof security, and only way to get rid
   of 500 server error is to delete the directories.
 * I mention both plugins because may is something I need required in my server 
   config ?
 * Below is my user.ini file I appreciate your help to get this fixed
 *     ```wp-block-code
       allow_url_fopen = Off
       file_uploads = On
       max_execution_time = 200
       max_input_time = 300
       max_input_vars = 1000
       memory_limit = 512M
       post_max_size = 128M
       upload_max_filesize = 256M
       ```
   
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fplugin-causing-http-error-500%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * I checked the description for webgo Managed SSD vServer on the webgo website 
   and it is fully managed, which means webgo has created customized security for
   your hosting account. What I have seen with other hosts that offer a managed 
   hosting solution is they restrict access to particular folders, create their 
   own customized security solutions, etc. You will need to check with webgo to 
   find out the limitations/restrictions for your managed hosting account.

 * Thanks .. I have checked with them, they did not know. I can email what you told
   me.
 * However I did get it to work for now. I deleted all custom code after manually
   deleting tables and reactivating
 * now seems to work we see how long

 * Glad to hear that. So yeah some .htaccess code must have been causing the 500
   error then.
