I have been unable to access my website for some time due to a 500 Internal Service Error. I had PowWeb "ping" my website but nothing changed. How do I fix this issue? I have a feeling that it has something to do with me enabling FP extensions, but I can’t remember where I turned them on.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Any help will be greatly appreciated!You can turn on FP extensions from OPS.

A "500 Internal Server Error" can have many causes, but it is most usually one of the following:

1. A .htaccess file with an error
2. A script that has an error
3. A script which is protected against execution

Sometime I get this error when I try to access one of my web sites although I verified all the above possible error causes. Any one can help here?

4. 500 can also be incorrect chmod

Check you htdocs and all folders are 755 and in general files should be 644

There are many other possible causes when using scripts. There may be a misconfiguration of the script interpreter, some error on the server, etc. The items mentioned earlier are the most common, though.

Thanks!Login to OPS https://ops.powweb.com goto the Packages tab then the HTTP tab, scroll to the bottom of that page and click FrontPage [ Install ] You will be prompted to create a username and password. Make up something unique to Powwebs servers and click ok. Wait 20 minutes for the extensions to set then use the user/pass you just created when you go to publish with FrontPage.
