An internal server error is when your webserver is when an application on the server is having an issue and can't complete a process. You would need to contact your host after checking your error log.
[h=1]What causes 500 Internal Server Errors?[/h]Here are the three most common reasons:

1. File permissons set incorrectly. Most commonly having a file as "world" writeable. This is a very common issue with PHP files. In general on our servers, PHP file permissions should not be higher than 775. Keep in mind too that the permissions of the parent folders/directories need to be set correctly too.
3. Leaving file permissions set incorrectly after manual installation of content management systems, forums, blogs, etc.
   
4. Coding errors in the .htaccess file.

The 500 Internal Server Error message might be seen in any number of ways because each website is allowed to customize the message.

How To Fix the 500 Internal Server Error -

Reload the web page. You can do that by clicking the refresh/reload button, pressing F5

The #1 thing to do when you see a 500 error is ask the host for the logs from the web server for the error message. This is the fastest way to confirm what the true error is. If you have access to the logs (VPS / Dedicated) you should check them before doing anything. It will save you time in the long run.

500 internal server error happened due to .

1. when inode is full on the server.
2. When the permission deny in httpd.conf file like
AllowOverride none
to change it AllowOverride ALL
3. when httpd service has stop
4. look the error log for the server
// tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log

Backup & Shifting of Servers

Hi, can anyone suggest me how to shift website from Linux to Windows server?
I tried shifting my Bagla Group (Acrylic Tape Manufacturer) website but it was showing a 500 error while doing it, so, for now, I moved back it on Linux.
