Title: 500 Internal Server Error Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # 500 Internal Server Error * Resolved [butsie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/butsie/) * (@butsie) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-282/) * After installing your plugin Gzip Ninja version 0.0.3, I got a 500 Internal Server Error. I don’t know how to fix that. I already removed your plugin via FTP, but that didn’t work. I also contacted my Hosting provider but they said it is something with the .htacces file, but I don’t know how to fix that. Can you give me some help? * Butsie * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/gzip-ninja-speed-compression/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/gzip-ninja-speed-compression/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 24 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-282/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-282/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [customwpninjas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/customwpninjas/) * (@customwpninjas) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-282/#post-4552751) * Hey Butsie, * I’d be happy to help! Sorry you had an issue. * Normally what that means is that your hosting company is restrictive. Care to email me? * ninjas [at] customwpninjas.com * we can discuss your URL and a specific way to fix it. If you can navigate to your FTP you can open your .htaccess file and paste this in * # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!- d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] # END WordPress * That should get it back up. Now we just need to figure out how to GZip your stuff. * Plugin Author [customwpninjas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/customwpninjas/) * (@customwpninjas) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-282/#post-4552770) * OK, thank you for providing me FTP access so I could fix this. * Your hosting company has a .htaccess file in your /home/ directory that was causing a conflict with your WordPress install. GZip Ninja Speed may have brought that issue out in the open, but it certainly is not at all a standard install that this was going under. * Problem solved and I am very thankful you tried our plugin. I have also installed leverage browser caching for you. **Please do not reinstall this plugin as it has already been manually applied to your .htaccess** * Thread Starter [butsie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/butsie/) * (@butsie) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-282/#post-4552791) * Thank you very much for your time to fix this problem. I know now that it was a mistake from the hosting provider and not a plugin issue. Thanks. * [SAGITARIUS7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sagitarius7/) * (@sagitarius7) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-282/#post-4552972) * I got the same problem but in my case this didn’t help at all. * ``` # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] # END WordPress ``` * I have put my site back online when I have deleted .htaccess because and my dashboard didn’t work either and then I have disabled the plug-in. * Plugin Author [customwpninjas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/customwpninjas/) * (@customwpninjas) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-282/#post-4552973) * What is your URL? * Are you apache based? Send me an email too at ninjas [at] customwpninjas.com we can solve right now. * [SAGITARIUS7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sagitarius7/) * (@sagitarius7) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-282/#post-4552974) * [http://prismabg.com](http://prismabg.com) Yes the host is Apache based. * Ok. * I will send you data for access to the site. * Plugin Author [customwpninjas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/customwpninjas/) * (@customwpninjas) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-282/#post-4552978) * Ok, I have solved! It turns out, your server does not have mod_deflate installed– which is … very weird. * Any server would LOVE to have someone compress their data, it means less bandwidth they are responsible for transferring. * Also, you put your .htaccess file in the wrong place. You put in site root, it should have went (in your file structure) on /www/root/ (you had it before the www) * **Ok – last thing – I have manually installed Leverage Browser Caching for you as well, do not activate a plugin that does that.** * You should consider moving hosting companies. _[hosting link moderated]_ – that’s us and we help our customers quick 🙂 * [SAGITARIUS7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sagitarius7/) * (@sagitarius7) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-282/#post-4552979) * Thanks for the help. * I will consider the hosting for my future projects. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-282/#post-4552981) * **[@customwpninjas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/customwpninjas/)**: Please do not use these forums to promote your own hosting services. * Plugin Author [customwpninjas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/customwpninjas/) * (@customwpninjas) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-282/#post-4552982) * [@esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) My bad!

Send me an email, we can talk about what other options you have privately. * [peterstillwater](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterstillwater/) * (@peterstillwater) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-internal-server-error-282/#post-4553078) * I just emailed you.
