# Error 500 – Please help!

 * It has been more than a week that I am unable to update a post in my blog that
   I consider pretty important. Everytime I click on “Edit Post”, I get the famous
   error message:
 * > **Error 500 – Internal server error**
   >  An internal server error has occured!
   > Please try again later.
 * Here’s the [blog](http://www.cyberanto.com), and here’s the [post](http://www.cyberanto.com/2009/10/cafe-world-dishes/)
   that I cannot update.
    Some info about this post:
    - There are about 1,050 comments written.
    - I just updated my wordpress version to 2.9.2
 * I even tried disactivating all of my plugins, and it still doesn’t work. Any 
   help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

 * Have you tried:
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related 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? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until
   you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a **fresh** download
   of WordPress?

 * @ Esmi,
 * I think it’s a php problem with 1and1.com.
 * I wrote the following in my .htaccess file:
 * > # BEGIN WordPress
   >  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / 
   > RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule./
   > index.php [L] </IfModule> Options All -Indexes AddType x-mapp-php5 .php AddHandler
   > x-mapp-php5 .php # END WordPress
 * And now it works, no more Error 500.
 * But I have another problem now… My Exec-PHP plugin is not working 🙁

 * Thanks [@cyberanto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cyberanto/). Had the 
   same problem, but it works now!
