500- Internal Server Error

[vizoomer]

ofc it is .. if you are afraid then just download the file and delete it

so if you feel something goes wrong you can upload it back .. also .htaccess is generated automatically once it's deleted ..

...

also i see you installed with softaculaus .. just try manually if the .htaccess doesn't work but i'm sure the .htaccess should do .. just download it to be sure

deleting .htacess is safe ?


Bro please explain in layman terms, thanks.



WP was installed with softaculous.

You should always use the ftp method to install wordpress, it takes a little more time but always works. You should try it out and see what happens.

Hello,

500 ISE could also be a database permissions problem, I'd double check first in your phpMyadmin that the database was created by Softaculous correctly and all the tables are there correct also. There should be 11 tables in the database that you created in the setup.

If that fails, try deleting your wordpress installation and start it again. Aaaand if that fails I don't mind looking into it for you if you pm me details.

Finally managed to bring it live by playing around with nameservers.

Thanks all for the help, much appreciated.

CHMOD first then try everything else, depending on ure hosting options some cpanels show a chmod option, if not open using ftp (ws_ftp or whatever) right click the file u want to edit (ie index.php or whatever) select unix comand and check all the boxes, in other words allow it to read, write and execute.
