 * Internal Server Error
 * The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to
   complete your request.
 * Please contact the server administrator, [webmaster@footballpredictor.net](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-server-error-289/webmaster@footballpredictor.net?output_format=md)
   and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done
   that may have caused the error.
 * More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
 * Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying 
   to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
 * My error log says this

 * Try reviewing this codex to solve header already sent problem: [http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_do_I_solve_the_Headers_already_sent_warning_problem.3F](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_do_I_solve_the_Headers_already_sent_warning_problem.3F)

 * – check with your host if the domain name is configured properly to point to 
   public_html folder.
    – It may indicate .htaccess issue. In most cases it is an
   invalid .htaccess directive. Regenerate .htaccess, and be sure the encoding in
   your text editor is Unicode No BOM. – It may indicate a problem with the configuration
   on the server. Usually your hosting company tech support can help. – It may indicate
   limitation imposed by file system and server software. – It may indicate missing
   php.ini (or cannot read php.ini file). – A malformed php cgi script. – it could
   be problem with the plugins, try [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. – it could be a problem with the theme. Momentarily, try
   switching to the default WordPress theme via FTP or whatever file management 
   application your host provides by renaming your current theme to rule out any
   theme specific issue. – If the above troubleshooting steps fail to resolve the
   issue, try manually re-uploading all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php
   file and the /wp-content/ directory from a fresh download of WordPress. Make 
   sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new
   ones. Read the [Manual Update ](http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update)
   directions first!
