Error 500 after saving a Wordpress post

Hi everybody,

First of all thank you for the great plug-in !

Here is my problem :

Since a few days, I get an “Error 500 - Internal server error” each time I want to save a new or existing post on my Wordpress blog.

The 'wordpress/wp-admin/post.php' script seems in question here.

And I noticed that the error disappears if I desactivate the “Simple Press Forum” plug-in.


I wonder if there is not a way to desactivate only the forum function that appears on the 'wordpress/wp-admin/post.php' page (”Link to Forum”), and not the full plug-in ? Maybe this could make my error 500 disappear ?


Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Augustin

check the permissions on your files…  a lot of hosts with throw the 500 errors if the permssions on .php files are not 644…

Well, all .php files seems to have CHMOD 644, I guess my problem happens because memory limit is exceeded (> 32M). Any guess for desactivating the “Link to Forum” function on the 'wordpress/wp-admin/post.php' page ?


Thanks for your help.

Best regards,

Augustin

 I really doubt that would help…  the forum runs well in less than 32M…  I know folks running it at 8M and 16M….

still, and I dont have access to the code at the moment, but look in sf-control.php at the add_action commands…  there should be one or two that deal with blog link stuff…  just comment them out…  I will look at the code when home tonight after work…

comment out lines 67 and 70 in sf-control.php though I doubt it will have any effect…

I believe this is a conflict problem… I was getting serious errors when saving posts, with or without blog linking… deactivated the troubled plugin and the world went back to normal.

What plugins do you have active? Please, pay particular attention to ones that also make changes to the write/edit page, such as Tag/catagory editing plugins, or meta data editing plugins.

Hi Mr Papa and -Radio-,


Thanks a lot for your help. Since I didn't manage to solve my problem otherly, I decided to move my Wordpress website on a dedicated server. Same plugins activated, same code, etc. but different php.ini settings on the Apache server (cf. /etc/php5/apache/php.ini, given that I run PHP5 and Apache 1.3) : the result ? No more 500 error !

That's why I think this problem can happen when mutualised web hostings don't allow sufficient memory to their users, or when php.ini settings (the “memory_limit” parameter) are not correctly set.

I hope this can help others.


Best regards and thanks for the amazing job,

Augustin

THANK YOU very much for that information.

Another General Scope error we should watch out for when troubleshooting.

Can we ask who your previous host was?

You're welcome. So for information :

My previous host was “1&1″ (servers based in Germany I think), the address : http://www.1and1.com

And my new host is a french one (I'm french myself), proposing dedicated servers at low cost, the address : http://www.dedibox.fr


I think I got the error 500 because my website began to be too heavy for a mutualised hosting (SQL database > 10Mb, 21 WP plug-ins activated and about 1500 visitors/day).

Best regards,

Augustin
