server error 500

New Pleskian
Hello All,
I just built a wordpress website and uploaded to. I am yet to assign a domain name to it. I tried to preview the website but i keep getting server error 500. I need your help please
 
Hello Koman,

500 Error is a PHP Error. It means there is a problem with any of your php files or application.

For security reasons, you will not see the actual PHP error on your pages except through your log files ...
Instead, you can always find the exact reported errors by navigating to your error logs ..

The error could be as a result of a broken database connection link, you might need to verify and check that ALL your DB settings are correct.

*If you need my help to check it out for you, just ask :)
 
There's actually many reasons why you could get a server 500 error and not just PHP related (although it could be part of it. For an example, a plugin that was solely designed to work with Linux and never took the Windows environment into consideration, although miner you can normally modify the code to work).

To troubleshoot this correctly I would recommend that you check out the following articles that talks about enabling tracing and troubleshooting server error codes.

The more we know about the actual error by looking at the trace logs and what not the better chances we can pinpoint the fix.
