Our servers use the suPHP method of executing PHP scripts. For security reasons, suPHP requires that scripts are not world-writable. If you get an internal server error, first check in the Error Log section of cPanel to see if there is an error message. It is likely that the problem is related to permissions. Using an FTP client or the cPanel File Manager, change the permission on your PHP files to 755. Files that are set to 777 will not be executed, and will give an internal server error.
Another potential reason for such errors may be due to you using a php_value or php_flag option in a .htaccess file. Any .htaccess statements of this sort must be removed, and placed in a new file called php.ini in the same directory. For instance, "php_flag register_globals On" should become "register_globals = On" in a php.ini file.
If you have any trouble with internal server errors and are unable to diagnose them yourself, please submit a support ticket and we can investigate.
