Title: Internal Server Error 500 – login.php Last modified: August 24, 2016 --- # Internal Server Error 500 – login.php * Resolved [wci](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wci/) * (@wci) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-server-error-500-loginphp-1/) * Hi WP Support Team, * I am not sure what I have done wrong, but actually I cannot login any more by using either login.php or admin.php. * I am running a multisite installation (RAM 261,3/2048M • SQL 155 • PHPv 5.4.39) which has worked so far. I am able to login within theme login url (/?ptype=login& page1=sign_in) but when I try to login over the original wordpress files to my site (short link – [http://y.wci-box.com/500-server-error](http://y.wci-box.com/500-server-error)) then I get the error and not beeing able to login.

If you don’t have access to your admin panel, try [manually resetting your plugins](https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)( 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 Twenty Fourteen theme to rule-out a theme-specific issue. If you don’t have access to your admin panel, access your server via [FTP or SFTP](https://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients), 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 FTP or SFTP and rename the `.htaccess` file. If you can’t find a `.htaccess` file, make sure that you have set your FTP or SFTP 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. * Thread Starter [wci](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wci/) * (@wci) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-server-error-500-loginphp-1/#post-5997480) * Hi James, * thanks for your helping hands. * Well it seems that the server has an issue, because if I try to log in to other WP sites I have the same problem. * > The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable > to complete your request. * > Apr 10 08:57:21 2015] [error] client denied by server configuration: [Server/ > root]./public_html/wci.ms/wci/wp-login.php * Any ideas on that? * Regards, Alex * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-server-error-500-loginphp-1/#post-5997483) * Was there no improvement after manually resetting plugins and manually switching the theme? * Thread Starter [wci](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wci/) * (@wci) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-server-error-500-loginphp-1/#post-5997484) * Hi James, * I found out what the issue was.
