I get a 500 - Internal Server error!

This is NOT the typical multicoloured 500 error that Awardspace.com issues to remind you to fix your script errors or permissions... that type is described above.

This type is a full-stop type of error.. and typically presents itself on php/mysql driven sites which have an .htaccess file present.


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

Please contact the server administrator, [no address given] 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.

The solution is to delete or rename your .htaccess file.

If this error occurs on a html based site or on a site where there is no .htaccess present, then it is a server issue and should not only be reported to the forums to alert other users, but also reported to support@awardspace.com
