Error 500 – Internal server error

    Been having an issue for the past few days with my sites home page. Whenever I post something new I kept getting an Error 500 – Internal Server Error whenever I posted something or went to edit the page.

    This would sometimes stop after a few refreshes or logging out and back in. In the past I followed this advice:

    Create a text file and name it “php.ini” (without the quotes 😉 ) and with a single line of code in it:

    memory=20MB

    This file has to be placed into the directory /wp-admin/ within your WordPress installation.

    It worked perfectly (I have been running the site for 6 months) up until this past week as I can only assume the php file is maxed out. Problem is I’ve tried changing the memory size to as much as 50MB, even adjusting it to little amounts like 21MB but it’s made no difference.

    Can anyone help at all as I can no longer post new content or edit the home page in any way!

    I haven’t updated to the latest version of WP as I was worried it would break the Arras theme I’ve been using.

    Edit. Just to add that I have tried using Firefox, IE and Opera but all result in the same problem.

    Desperate to get this fixed as my Home Page can no longer be accessed for editing. Can post content to seperate pages but can’t then add them to the home page.

    I’ve disabled all the plugins but no joy.

    Turning off a few plug ins fixed the problem right up until I reactivate them. All of them are up to date and this wasn’t happening a week ago, haven’t changed anything either and no new plug ins. Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this? I’m really worried I’m going to lose access to my entire site, I’ve thousands of articles, images, videos etc Word Press is the back bone to it all.

    One thing I haven’t done is upgrade to the latest version of Word Press mainly because I’m worried it will bring the full site down in one fell swoop.

    Now I’m pretty much screwed 😐 The Error 500 – Internal server error, keeps popping up and deactivating all of my plugins is no longer doing the trick! Does anyone have any idea what I can do?

    This is my front page at the moment:

    Thanks to someone off forum I’ve managed to fix the issue, something to do with the .htaccess file. For those who come across this in future all I did was create a txt file, rename to .htaccess and uploaded it to the root folder of my site. The info I pasted in was:

    Options All -Indexes
    AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
    AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php
