500- Internal Server Error

[Gemini11]

Hi

I am a n00b in website management.

I have bought a domain @ namecheap and 1TB hosting @ gearserve but once i check my domain its showing

Welcome! This domain was recently registered at namecheap.com. The domain owner may currently be creating a great site for this domain. Please check back later!

I have installed WP on this and once i access domain/wp its showing 500 ISE.

Does it take 48 hours to updates ?

I have followed this thread to create by website.

500 server error means the something wrong with the setup.

Yeah what is wrong is i am trying to figure out

check the server logs and it will tell you.

try deleting .htaccess ..

while going to filemanager via cpanel, just tick on show .(dot) files .. or something like that and you will be able to see it

chmod properly, if you haven't yet

Have you installed wordpress correctly? After your transfered the files to your public_html via ftp, did you setup the admin account?

WP was installed with softaculous.

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 ..
