    Hello,
    I am getting the dreaded 500 Internal error whenever I try to activate the BuddyPress plugin. I am using WordPress version 4.0 on an internal development LAMP server. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi @requiemz

    500 internal server errors can result from a lots of things. You’ll need to provide some more info as there isn’t much to go on from what you’ve wrote.

    4. Did you upgrade from a previous version of WordPress? If so, from which version?

    No, its a vanilla install.

    Yes.

    14. Which company provides your hosting?

    localhost

    15. Is your server running Windows, or if Linux; Apache, nginx or something else?

    LAMP

    This really is a server issue rather than a Buddypress one.

    Internal server errors can have any number of possible causes that will be very hard for us to identify for you.

    Your partial log points to “End of script output before headers” this might be file/directory permissions issues as your on a localhost, try and ensure your permissions are as open as possible.

    Does your localhost site run correctly otherwise, is WP fully working in all respects, does .htaccess exist, is it correctly allowing permalink re-writing. Can you run updates through the WP admin interface? Is that domain actually in your hosts file?

    Yes to all those questions. I can install any other plugin I want without any issues.

    @requiemz

    Any ideas? Could this be some sort of php error?

    ? what do your logs say

    Server issues are somewhat outside the remit of this help forum really.

    Im not expecting help with server issues. All I want to do is get this plugin installed. Every other plugin that I try works. The only errors I have are the ones I listed above.

    What scripts does this plugin call? Are there any logs that it creates? Is it possible to debug this? I’m At my wits end here on this.

    This may be a memory issue, why are you running fastcgi? can you switch to php module for less memory usage?, believe this can be an issue with fastcgi, but other than that dealing with this sort of thing isn’t easy when one hasn’t the issue in front of one.
