How to fix 500 Internal Server Error
<div align=justify>Though cPanel allows you to create custom error pages, generally the 500 Internal Server Error look like this: ''Internal Server Error'' ''The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.'' ''Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@domain.com 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 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.'' Here are the possible causes of this server error: * Improper files permissions; * unsupported/disallowed directives within .htaccess file; * improperly configured php.ini file Here are some things you can try in order to fix 500 Internal server Error: '''1.''' Check the permissions for all files/folders under your account. Remember that they are to be set as follows: * files - 644; * folders -755; * cgi scripts - 755. '''2.''' Rename the .htaccess file. This can be done either via cPanel File Manager or via any FTP client. '''Note:''' as .htaccess is a hidden file, make sure you have the 'Show Hidden Files (dotfiles).' box checked (when accessing files via File Manager). '''3.''' In case there are recent changes made to php.ini file, try reverting them. If you are not sure how to do this yourself, contact the web server's support team and ask for assistance. '''4.''' Check the error log at your cPanel (under the '''Logs''' section). It may contain some information about the error you are getting. </div>
