How to Fix Internal Server Errors for Apache Linux and cPanel

This is a usual scenario where users might come across such Internal Server Errors.

What do I need to do in this case ?

You should understand that the “Internal Server Error” doesn’t always necessary be due to a server problem. It may also be due to some problem within your files as well.

Let us see how you can identify the actual reason and the solution to a particular Internal Server Error

• An issue with the .htaccess file
• Any particular or multiple files and folders have permissions higher than 755 and the server holding it doesn’t allow the level of permissions. Though any software or applications which require 777 permissions will work with 755 permission on our servers.
• An incorrect PHP version within the “PHP Configuration” section.
• The username does not own the folder or files.
