WP 3.3 + Buddypress 1.5.2 + HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error)
-
Apologize if this has been posted earlier, but I’ve read many posts and could not find a satisfactory answer :
SITE:
http://www.LifeinAustralia.com.auPROBLEM:
I don’t have an MU site – just a simple blog. Using Mingle Theme (purchased – http://themeforest.net/user/Parallelus) which supports Buddypress. Tried installing Buddypress from the WP site directly – but I get a HTTP Error 500 as soon as I try and click the “activate” button. The site goes offline (including the admin panel). I have to delete the plugin via FTP to get my site back. Tried installing the plugin via FTP but I get the same error.
WHAT I HAVE TRIED ALREADY:
1. Deactivating all other plugins before installing Buddypress – did not work – still get the same error
2. the *.htaccess file (I have it in my root folder – permalinks is enabled). One of the forum posts suggested that I need to add a line of code to this file right at the first line [AddType x-mapp-php5 .php] , which I have done … the content is as follows:AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
# BEGIN WordPressRewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]# END WordPress
3. I saw some posts which said that its important where your WP is hosted. I have my site hosted at IX Web Hosting. The site has a fixed IP (not shared IP)EXACT ERROR MESSAGE WHICH I GET:
The website encountered an error while retrieving http://lifeinaustralia.com.au/admin/wp-admin/plugins.php?action=activate&plugin=buddypress%2Fbp-loader.php&_wpnonce=0c56440dca It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.
QUESTION TO THE FORUM:
How do I resolve this ? I’ve tried installing the plugin multiple times with no luck. Am at the brink of frustration ! Without buddypress the community features on my site will not work – and that’s a huge let down .. please advise asap
