Some days ago i just tryed to change a permalink method because supercache plugin generated a message that was an error on permalink.
After that i tryed to change the permalink method, the website is no more reachable, same for wp admin panel.

Delete your .htaccess in the site root (make a backup first), and try to log-in again.

I dont see any htaccess file in the root of my blog
mothernatur3s0n comments:
Success.
First i tryed to follow the other suggestions (of Cliff P and Ozh RICHARD, the others are the same but nothing, then i simple deleted the file and now the web site work.
Daniele Raimondi comments:
Great. If you re-save permalink or activate/re-save setting of you cache plugin, htacces file should be autocreated again.
mothernatur3s0n comments:
True, is fine now! The file was autocreated.

I would suggest deleting WP Super Cache folder via FTP and re-installing the plugin...
<strong>August 11, I emailed you this:</strong>
Your .htaccess file (last modified 8/10/2011 at 2:14:00 am) was this:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I tried to change the .htaccess file, but got an error that access was denied.
If you or your web host can edit the .htaccess file, I would suggest trying one of these things:
1) Add this line right under “<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>”:
Options +FollowSymlinks
2) Remove this line:
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
3) Do both 1 & 2
Let me know how it turns out.
<strong>Did you try either/both of those?</strong>
I hope your issue is resolved very soon.

How you can see the htaccess file? i cant see it.
Clifford P comments:
In FileZilla, I had to go to "server" and select "force showing hidden files", like in this image: [[LINK href="http://infinity-infinity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/force_showing_hidden_files.png"]]http://infinity-infinity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/force_showing_hidden_files.png[[/LINK]]
This is because the file starts with a period.

<blockquote>Internal Server Error

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

Clifford P comments:
What does your .htaccess file now contain?
Did you delete the cache plugin's directory/folder via FTP?
mothernatur3s0n comments:
Yes i do all that you said but nothing. I simple follow the suggestion of Daniele Raimondi and now is ok.
mothernatur3s0n comments:
I dont know now if i must re-insert the htaccess in the web root or if is ok now without htaccess but now work all.
Clifford P comments:
Very glad to hear that deleting .htaccess was all you needed to do. You said your site is working now. Have you tried enabling permalinks again? Whether yes or no, did WordPress create a new .htaccess file for you?
Also, please confirm whether or not you deleted the caching plugin folder.
mothernatur3s0n comments:
File was autocreated. All ok now.
Andrew Wong answers:
403 error: http://www.checkupdown.com/status/E403.html seems like a big deal...
Try to delete the cache plugin from FTP and see if accessible and try to use the default URL to access any post/page you can remember.
Ozh RICHARD answers:
- Delete the .htaccess file
- Rename the caching plugin folder
- Rename the wp-content/advanced-cache.php file
- Rename the wp-content/cache directory
- Clear your browser cache
You should now be able to access the admin area and reset your permalink structure
Reland Pigte answers:
You just have to delete the .htaccess and the directory of the supercache plugin and clear your browsers cache.
Pali Madra answers:
Insert the following in your .htaccess file (which is in the root directory of your server)
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>
You should be done!
Let me know if it works.
Thanks
