Usually '500 internal server error' is caused by incorrect entries in the .htaccess or might be due to PHP coding. Rename .htaccess file and check whether you are still getting the same error.

There are many other reasons why website displays 'internal server error', so to find the exact reason you must check the apache error logs.

on a cPanel server apache error logs are saved in /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log, on servers without control panel usually apache logs are in /etc/httpd/logs directory. Refresh the page and use tail command to check the exact error.

tail -f /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log
