Finally Fixed the Wordpress “Internal Server Error 500″!

500 Internal Server Error(blue, tinytags picture) by abysslukeEver since I upgraded to Wordpress 2.7 months ago, I have been encountering a dreaded Internal Server Error 500 page every time I would post something.  At first I didn’t think my posts were getting published, but realized they were.  However, due to this silly error popping up in various spots, I was unable to delete or do much work within wordpress.  I wasn’t even able to install upgrades or plugins!  So, thinking that it was some big huge problem, I avoided trying to fix it in the slight hopes that it would just go away. 

Well, it didn’t go away.

(Consequently, I didn’t do much blogging over the past few months because of the annoyance factor.) I hit a breaking point though and it finally got so irritating that I decided to head over to google to find the solution.

And, lemme tell you…google is my friend. The first link I went to popped up this page.  And guess what?  The solution was so extrordinarily simple that I almost choked.

All I had to do was upload one little tiny text file (php.ini) with the words “memory=20mb” into my WP-Admin folder.

And bamboom.  There it is.  Fresh as a daisy!   Now I can type away and blog my heart out whenever I want without becoming annoyed by that 500 Error every time I hit publish.  

To whoever wrote that simple solution, I send you a great huge MUAH! 

Phew.
