# "internal server error" from wp-admin

 * Hi. Thanks in advance for help and consideration.
 * The site [http://www.DallasEgrets.org/wordpress](http://www.DallasEgrets.org/wordpress)
   seems to be working fine.
    However, when I enter [http://www.DallasEgrets.org/wordpress/wp-admin.php](http://www.DallasEgrets.org/wordpress/wp-admin.php),
   I get this error:
 * Internal Server Error
 * The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to
   complete your request.
 * Please contact the server administrator, [cgiadmin@yourhostingaccount.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-server-error-from-wp-admin/page/2/cgiadmin@yourhostingaccount.com?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.
 * This problem started when I tried to set the site so it could be reached via “
   DallasEgrets.org” without the /wordpress. I was able to do this for another site,
   though I have forgotten how I did it.
    There is an older, non-wordpress site (
   quite ugly) at DallasEgrets.org that I am trying to replace with the snazzier
   wordpress version.
 * I am on shared hosting, so do not have access to server log.
    wordpress is able
   to find the site templates and database, otherwise the site could not be rendered.
   I thought wp-admin.php would be in the same place.
 * I do not code in php, nor do I use mysql (except with the black-box wordpress
   front end) but I am willing to learn. I am comfortable working at command line
   and editing config files, but I can’t figure out what to edit.
 * Badly need help. Peak season for the egret society is about to start. Really 
   need the dynamic management that wordpress supplies, can’t really manage the 
   site manually anymore the way I did before. Thanks again.

 * > Try resetting your permalinks.
 * Hi. I found a section “permalinks” under settings in the dashboard. I set it 
   to “default”. and now the pages are back!
 * Still not sure what permalinks are, but it worked! thanks for everything, esmi.

 * No problem. You should now be able to set your custom permalinks back up again.
   The site urls changes probably messed everything up. The permalink reset should
   have sorted it out now.
