 * Hi all. I’ve been struggling with this problem for quite some time now.
 * When I try to add a widget or update my theme ie. the sidebar I get this error
   when looking at my site:
 * > Internal Server Error
   >  The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration
   > and was unable to complete your request.
   > Please contact the server administrator, [support@supportwebsite.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-server-error-when-updating-theme/support@supportwebsite.com?output_format=md)
   > and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have

   > Apache/1.3.33 Server at [http://www.thebetanews.com](http://www.thebetanews.com)
   > Port 80
 * I’ve tried with different themes and I always get the same error. After I’ve 
   added the widget or edited the sidebar and I hit F5 to update to see the updates,
   the error occurs. I must then update a few more times and the its gone. Funny
   thing the sidebar and widget isn’t updated. This isn’t a browser cache problem.
   I’m running two other blogs where its working just fine.
 * I’m running MySQL 5.0 on GoDaddy.
 * Ps: If I look at my site after an update with another browser it sometimes shows
   the updates other times the above mentioned error. :-/
 * Any help is greatly appreciated.
