    500 internal server error

    the last thing I did was install wptouch to configure my theme for mobile devices.
    I also auto updated a few plugins while there. I recall a ping.fm plugin and the wordpress autoupdate plugin itself. There may have been one other.

    After install, my blog looked the same on my desktop and as expected on the iphone.

    hours later – 500 internal server error.
    Could these be related?
    Seems odd since the site looked fine after the install?

    I have full FTP access to the server and things look fine but I’m not sure what to look for?
    A post says something about deleting the wp-cache plugin but since I don’t have access to the config pages – i’m not sure how to do this?

    Any thoughts would be great!

    500 internal server errors are most commonly due to problems with your web host’s server (contact them or wait for it to resolve) or due to a bad .htaccess file. Rename the .htaccess file (to disable it). .htaccess files are invisible, so you will have to set your ftp program to show invisibles.

    500 internal server error.

    check the permissions on your directories and files.

    644 == files
    755 == directories

    world writable dirs or files often result in 500 errors.

    fixed it.

    this was my .htaccess file

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /blog/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    /IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    I deleted the second

    # END WordPress /IfModule

    why would this suddenly show up?
