I have absolutely no clue as to why I am getting this. I have a new installation via fantastico ver 3.03. Whenever I try logging in, the wp-admin page doesn't show up, instead it gives 500 internal server error... i tinkered with the .htaccess but no avail...i have been at it all day, tried finding previous posts but i have not been successful. Please help me...thanks

Post the link you get at pastebin here, so that we can look at it.
Also post last 100 errors from your server error logs

No need to paste .htaccess. Just rename it to .htaccess1. Try to access your website again. If 500 error remains then it's not .htaccess problem. Second possible cause: mod_security.

Posted 1 year ago #@arkgroup I tried your method...didn't help...what is mod_security ??? I have no idea about this. But you sure, its not .htaccess problem ???
-
It could be mod_security issue, and you should contact hosting support to check it out. Mod_security is an add-on for webserver.
If renaming of .htaccess did not help, then it's not htaccess.
You may also check permissions and ownership of your files and folders if you know how to do it. If not, hosting support will probably do it also.
You may also check logs. There could be more information about error.

raasm007,
Looks like you have DirectAdmin and it requires such files as 400.shtml, 401.shtml,403.shtml,404.shtml,500.shtml to be present at root. You may create your own files, but they should be more than 512 bytes, as I remember. I'll post a link with default files for you in few minutes.
-
Here is info about error pages:
http://www.site-helper.com/misc.html#404I've made an archive with default error pages for DirectAdmin.
http://rapidshare.com/files/451400048/default_error_pages.rarTry to upload it to /home/domain-name/public_html/ and access your site then.
Permissions for files should be 644, permissions for folders should be 755. /upload/ folder may need 777 permissions.
-
Almost forgot, permissions for error pages files like 401.shtml etc, should be also 755. You may set permissions with FileZilla or FileManager in control panel

Posted 1 year ago #oh...thank you so much...am trying it right now...will get back to you...but you're the man...directadmin ...lol ...what is it for exactly ?? and how is wordpress related to it ? am asking just for the knowledge...not to bother you :D
-
There's no relation between DirectAdmin and wordpress. DirectAdmin is a popular hosting control panel. It installs default error pages for every username and if you for example get 404 error, directadmin simply shows 404.shtml in your browser.

Posted 1 year ago #mate...finished with the error pages and followed your instructions...its still not solved...

May be we have resolved another error. Is there anything else in access or error logs?
You should contact hosting support, let them check their system stuff.

Posted 1 year ago #Well it was a server thing. I will not say problem coz my server has SU-PHP enabled. So I had to create a custom php.ini in my root as well as wp-admin folder.
ok people, this can be faced by anyone. Try .htaccess first like arkgroup said above by changing the name. If it persists, then it might be that your server also has SU-PHP. To solve this create a custom php.ini file with the following line
suhosin.Simulation On
That's it...nothing extra and place it in your root as well as wp-admin folder and your problem should be solved.
-
Thanks, I haven't met anything like this before. I'll google this for more information, because suphp should not cause troubles by itself.
