are you saying you dont read german? it would certainly be helpful if YOU translated if you understand it, dont you think?
I dont read german, but did find your site via another one of your posts, and its quite clear to me that its related to your hosting since not long after that page loads your redirected to funpic.de
here btw, is the babelfish translation:
Server error. Examine your htaccess file and/or delete these. Furnish also you your free homepage with the free Web space with Funpic.de
what, if anything do you want someone here to do for you?

Well, i can read german and english! But i am not a very nerdy guy. So i don’t know much about it and wanna know your help about this problem!!! I really have now clue what to do!! Will my posts still exist??? HELP pleaz??
ok, you can read german AND english, and yet you posted a msg in german to a forum where its fairly obvious we primarily speak english?
For starters, can I ask that in the future, YOU do the translating if you come across a msg in German, since you are the ONE asking for help? Expecting someone to translate or waiting for someone to come along that happens to read german is sort of a waste of time.
Now your problem isnt diagnosable, and as of yet, I still dont have an ACCURATE translation of what that message says, since YOU still havent translated it.
Assuming its an .htaccess problem, why not do whatever it says? And if you cant figure it out, contact your host for clarification.
Your WordPress posts are stored in a mysql database. mysql databases and .htaccess files arent the same thing, so the answer to your last question is that IF thats the only problem, your posts are fine.

Server error. Examine your htaccess file and/or delete these. Set up also your free homepage with the free Web space with Funpic.de
That is pretty much the translation!
When i delete the .htaccess file the site will show up but with the permalinks structure it will result that post or page cannot be found! it will give a 404 error. When i try to change the permalinks structure i’ll get the same 500 error!
and ill reiterate, contact your host.
ask them is they have mod_rewrite support and allow_override.
Im betting they dont have mod_rewrite available.

Hey people just got a reply from a guy who has also experienced this problem.
In german this was the solution:
Probier mal das hier:
Per FTP die htaccess löschen, so dass man wieder ins WP-Admin kommt. Dann zu Permalinks ud wieder auf die alte Struktur stellen, aber NOCH NICHT BESTÄTIGEN. Jetzt im FTP Prog Folder updaten und wenn die htaccess wieder da sein sollte nochmal schnell löschen. Jetzt erst die neue Permalinkstruktur bestätigen. Während des Vorgans darf also keine htaccess exisiteren!
In English:
Try this:
With you FTP program delete htaccess, so you can enter wp-admin again (with your site). Go to permalinks and reset it to the previous structure (the one before the 500-error) but DO NOT CLICK UPDATE!! ALREADY!!!!. Go to your FTP program and refresh the folder, there will be a new htaccess file and when there is one delete it again! Now click on UPDATE PERMALINK STRUCTURE. WordPress will confirm the new (or old!) permalinkstructure and will work as always!!! THIS IS A RESOLUTION THAT WORKED FOR ME!!
