    I got new server and I copyed old backups on it. Now I get the 500 Internal Server Error problem on all directories.

    Can anybody help me out with the problem?

    It sounds like the permissions or ownership on the directories are wrong, but it could be just about anything, even a bad line in an .htaccess file. You will want to tail your Apache error_log to see what errors it's throwing in order to determine a fix.

    That is correct. There are many things that can generate a 500 error. Is your new server managed? If so, you need to speak with them about the error and have them look into it. If not, you can try to fix it yourself, or use a third party management service.

    You can just check the directory permissions and ownership.If permission/ownership is wrong you will get this error message.Also provide apache error logs here.
