Fix Joomla 500 Internal Server Error

Why is my newly setup Joomla site showing error 500 (Internal Server Error)?

A fresh Joomla installation includes a file called .htaccess, located in the main folder of your Joomla installation. This file contains certain configuration settings that may conflict with your current web server configuration.

As a result, an Internal Server Error 500 may be displayed when you try to view your website.

Tip: You can determine if the .htaccess file is causing the error by renaming it to a.htaccess. If this resolves the issue, the problem lies within one of the directives in the file.

To resolve this, open the .htaccess file using a plain text editor (you can edit it via File Manager in your Control Panel) and look for the following line:

Options +FollowSymLinks

Comment out the line by placing a # in front of it:

#Options +FollowSymLinks

Disabling this directive usually resolves the error. However, if the issue persists, try commenting out other directives such as Options, phpflag, ExecCGI, FollowSymLinks, or Includes until the problem is fixed.
