Magento 500 internal server error

A 500 Internal Server Error in Magento can be frustrating, as it disrupts your store’s functionality and can impact sales.

This error often stems from incorrect file permissions, memory limits, corrupted .htaccess files, or issues with third-party extensions. To resolve it, start by checking the error logs (var/log and var/report) for specific details.

Ensure that the correct file permissions are set (755 for directories and 644 for files), and try increasing the PHP memory limit in the php.ini file. Additionally, clearing the Magento cache (bin/magento cache:clean) and regenerating static files (bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy) can help. If the problem persists, disabling recently installed extensions and verifying server configurations, such as the .htaccess file, may pinpoint the issue.

A well-maintained Magento installation with up-to-date software and optimized server settings can prevent such errors from recurring.
