When trying to access your website, you may see a page which returns the status code “500”. In Google Chrome, you’ll see a page with the error code HTTP ERROR 500.
There are typically two reasons which can cause this error:
The PHP code has crashed.
The .htaccess file contains invalid rules.
Here are some things you can try to debug and fix this.
However, if you are getting the error with the sitebuilder, use an FTP client like FileZilla to login to your site and delete the CONTENTS of the “htdocs” folder.
Then reopen the sitebuilder and click “publish”.
