  I was logged into my wordpress dashboard last night trying to activate a new plugin. I was having trouble activating Foo Gallery, so I clicked ‘delete’ next to that plugin to try reinstalling it, and next thing I knew I got the error message that said:

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

  Please contact the server administrator, 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.’

  I didn’t think anything I was doing could affect the larger site. Also, my website appears to still be working fine, I just haven’t been able to log into the dashboard since last night.
  Thanks,

  Hi @bartcarrade,

  Your site is using the self-hosted version of WordPress, and you need to seek help at the WordPress.org forums:

  https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  These forums are for WordPress.com hosted sites only :)

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  However, I recommend you to check your .htaccess file, delete your current .htaccess if you have any.
  Check your PHP memory limit; memory should be 64MB or above.
  you can try increasing Memory limit by adding define ('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M'); in wp-config.php file.
  To troubleshoot WordPress errors, you require to enable WordPress Debug, which can be done using wp-config.php.
  You need to copy and paste the code in wp-config.php file shown below.
  define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );

  Contact your Webhost regarding server related issues.

  Thanks !!!
