WordPress Internal Server Error 404 page

January 30, 2009 | By Fabio Milano In WordPress |

Scenario / Question:

I am getting an Internal Server Error and 404 page error in WordPress when trying to leave a reply or comment.

Solution / Answer:

The problem could be file permissions

Check the Logs for error: file is writable by others

Look through your logs for a line with the error “error: file is writable by others”

If your using CPanel then under “Logs” click ” Error Log”

In the Error Log you will also see which file is causing the error:

error: file is writable by others: (/home/my_site/public_html/wp-content/themes/sitetheme/comments-ajax.php)

FTP into your WordPress site and go the directory that contains the file specified in the Error Log

Change the file permissions on the file to:

644

OR

User: Read,Write
Group: Read
Other: Read
