   I had the same problem and I added this code in the .htaccess:

   AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
   AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

   and now it works fine, I think it's because wordpress use php5 and some hosts have php4

   Tried this and it blanked every page being opened. Running WP2.7 production release as of the 20th, did not resolve issue. This issue only started for me when Ihad my hosting ISP upgrade from php4 to php5. WP2.7 did not have any issues on php4 and I never once recevied this. I even went back to basics by re-building site with new DB and this still occured. I am reluctant to believe this is a PHP memory issue as many seem to think.

   I have the same issue when trying to run the install script. Installed a .htaccess file on MT host shared server as I was getting Fatal Errors for size. Now I get the "Internal server 500 error." So I cannot get the site up.

   Any ideas? I've gone through my upload about 34 times and cannot find any other errors on my part - though I might have missed them.

   I had the same problem recently, it was related to file permissions. I contacted my host and they changed them for me.

   It isn't clear why they changed to the incorrect values in the first place (worked fine for months), but it resulted in a 500 Internal Error and hours of headaches.

   best of luck to you

   I just started getting a 500 Internal error start last evening as well on 2.7 production release. I have made no changes for over 30 days.

   This is my .htaccess

   <Files .htaccess,.svn>
   order allow,deny
   deny from all
   </Files>
   Options +FollowSymlinks
   
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   # End of Redirection
   
   # BEGIN Feedburner
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !FeedBurner
   RewriteRule ^index\.xml$ http://feeds2.feedburner.com/site name removed] [R,L]
   # END Feedburner

   I inserted the suggestion above:

   AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
   AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

   and simple got a blank browser screen. I also tried the php.ini trick to troubleshoot PHP memory errors--still returned 500. This one is puzzling. Any help is appreciated.
