 * I have a problem with my wordpress today – about an hour ago I realized that 
   it shows 500 internal server problem, although about 2 hours ago everything was
   working just fine. I didn’t change anything today – but I have activated few 
   new plugins yesterday (canonical and all-in-one-seo-pack). There weren’t any 
   problems with them.
    The rest of my site is working, so is ftp connection – so
   I guess it’s rather not a problem with my host?
 * Two month’s ago a friend who is lending me some server space moved to a new host,
   and now I don’t have access to my database and I also can’t upgrade my wordpress
   to a newest version. I’m looking for my own host to move, but of course I would
   like to fix this problem first.
    Can you help me?

 * A 500 internal server error is usually a problem with the host so it’s probably
   a good idea to check with them. Did anything change with your .htaccess file?
   You could try renaming that temporarily and then see if you can access the site.

 * thanks for the answer.
    the only .htaccess file I can see is in a main folder
   of my site – there were no changes made, but to be sure – I’ve tried to rename
   this file to see if it’d help. nothing changed. My main site is working. Only
   a subdomain with wordpress is not. Should I have any other .htaccess file?

 * Not necessarily. (.htacess)
 * Since you have ftp access you can also try renaming the plugins folder to see
   if perhaps there is a conflict even though everything seemed fine yesterday.
 * Since you can access the main part of your site I guess it isn’t a server issue
   after all.

 * I’ve tried moving plugins to another folder, renaming them, also renaming plugins
   folder. It doesn’t help 🙁
    still waiting for the answer from host but I’m affraid
   they won’t be able to help in this case.
