Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] 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.

A 500 Internal Server Error is, like a blank page, a PHP error in disguise. First, we will have to figure out which is this error so that we can figure out what needs be done. Here are some suggestions:
  • Check the server error logs for PHP error messages. Usually, cPanel and Plesk allow you to access them.
  • Put the following lines at the end of your configuration.php file, just before the closing ?> tag. If this tag doesn't exist, put them at the very end of the file 
    ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
  • If you get a blank page or a page with seemingly missing CSS instead, use View Source in your browser. Sometimes the error is hidden in there, at the very end of the source code of the page.
