Serious 500 error problem

    Ok so this happened to me the other day and I was able to resolve it by reinstalling WordPress, my WordPress theme and all of its plugins (took forever)

    It has now happened again so I need to get to the root of the issue.

    I have a website running on my localhost (using MAMP)

    When I visit localhost:8888/ I am able to access my entire file directory.

    All other sites on my localhost are loading without issue, except for the site I need to access. I am getting a 500 error in the browser.

    When I enable WP Debug it doesn’t change from the 500 error in the browser.

    I have not modified this site in any way to cause this issue, it literally just randomly bricks itself. The same thing happened before to the exact same site.

    I have gone through a ton of guides and am completely lost at what is causing the issue.

    Would really appreciate some help troubleshooting.

    Thanks 🙂

    Did you check the error logs in MAMP. ?

    Thanks for the reply.

    My apache error logs show the following:

    I am getting ‘client denied by server configuration’.

    What I can’t understand is why this is affecting only a single install in my htdocs directory.

    Still at a complete loss with this if anyone can help.

    Do you use the latest MySQL and PHP version ? It is not compatible with the latest version (5.7 or so and PHP 7).

    Try with an older server in Php and MySQL.

    I think it is due to .htaccess. Can you check that there is no .htaccess file blocking the request. ?

    Also, check this out.

    In the end, I reinstalled WordPress and ported all of the info and plugins over.

    I was able to overcome the issue this way but never did get to the root of the problem.

    Thank you for the response, and feedback, everyone.
