If your website received 500 Internal Server Error you have to fix it. Find out what are the reasons of this error and what is necessary to do:

1. Check if the PHP support for the domain is on (“WWW Domains” menu) and php-bin folder is in the root directory (“File Manager”). Changes of the php file in the php-bin folder may also be the reason of this error. To fix this you have to delete php-bin folder and then reject php (menu “WWW domains” – “Domain Settings”; in the field “PHP” you have to select “No PHP Support”) and remove a checkbox in the cgi-bin field. After doing this set, PHP parametres as CGI and match cgi-bin, save the settings. PHP and php-bin folders will be created automatically with the settings by default.

3. On the server PHP is working like a CGI script but not like an Apache module (mod_php), so you can not change PHP settings with .htaccess file. If in .htaccess file there are such PHP parametres like php_value, php_admin_value, php_flag, incorrect Options, you should remove these PHP parametres from .htaccess file.

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
  php_value include_path ".:/usr/local/lib/php"
  php_admin_flag engine on
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
  php_value include_path ".:/usr/local/lib/php"
  php_admin_flag engine on
</IfModule>
