 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.
 * And please post any future requests for help with your site’s problems in the
   How-To & Troubleshooting form.

 * I’m having the same problem. I cannot access either the pages, media or posts
   page off my dashboard. I can still access links, comments, appearance, users,
   tool, plugins and setting pages though.
 * The error I get is:
 * Error 500 – Internal server error
 * An internal server error has occured!
    Please try again later.
 * I have deactivated and deleted all my plugins and still no hope. I have also 
   replaced both wp-includes and wp-admin files with the original downloaded version
   via my FTP client.
 * I have previously had to add a .htaccess file to the wordpress route directory
   in order to get rid of the same error around 2months ago. Could this error be
   something to do with that?
 * Thank you
