    So why would this error show up on every account on a dedicated server, it seems to specifically affect the php files?

    Are you using su_php for the handler? If so, it more than likely has to do with permissions. Check your apache error logs.

    Hi,

    Glad to know that it is fixed. Generally 500 Internal server error occurs due to misconfiguration in PHP, Apache, htaccess or any other settings. To find the root cause of such error, you will require to check Apache error log.

    Ok, thanks for the extra info

    another way that i found to correct this issue is to recompile apache, it will create about 5min of downtime but works also
