Internal server errors (error 500) are often caused by plugin or theme function conflicts, so if you have access to your admin panel, try deactivating all plugins. If you don’t have access to your admin panel, try manually resetting your plugins (no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.
If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the default theme for your version of WordPress to rule-out a theme-specific issue. If you don’t have access to your admin panel, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, navigate to /wp-content/themes/
and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue.
If that does not resolve the issue, it’s possible that a .htaccess
rule could be the source of the problem. To check for this, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, and rename the .htaccess
file. If you can’t find a .htaccess
file, make sure that you have set your SFTP or FTP client to view invisible files.
If you weren’t able to resolve the issue by either resetting your plugins and theme or renaming your .htaccess
file, we may be able to help, but we’ll need a more detailed error message.
Internal server errors are usually described in more detail in the server error log. If you have access to your server error log, generate the error again, note the date and time, then immediately check your server error log for any errors that occurred during that time period. If you don’t have access to your server error log, ask your hosting provider to look for you.
Thank you,
Yes I can reach my own server and installed all using ssl putty connection.
Error logs does not reveal any problems.
This let me decide to remove the Virtual machine and start with a fresh image from Ubuntu 20.04.
Will keep this forum updated after the new installation is finished.
Here we go what I did and found out.
I use Hyper-V as platform with the latest updates until now.
The Ubuntu image I used before could not install: Ubuntu 18.04.
Downloading Ubuntu 18.04 version 5 .iso solved that problem.
Installed Nginx 1.18, Nariadb 15.1, PHP7.4-FPM and configured the user in Unix to cope with permissions.
The basic NGINX site was working including php, then copied my old wordpress with the wp-config.php file to /var/www/html/
Received again http500 error but now got a parsing error in the log file.
expecting end of file in /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-config.php
Found a double block starting again with <php.
After removing the extra information up to the second <php, everything started to work.
Now going to learn wordpress …YEAH
