Whenever WordPress throws you a white screen of death or a server error, I recommend turning your debugging on. Most of the time, you can have the 500 internal server error solved in 6 steps: 1.

Particularly in WordPress’ case, this can mean that a script that’s part of a theme or a plugin did something it shouldn’t have done, and now your server has crashed.ĭon’t sweat, though, there are some good solutions… How to resolve 500 internal server error The only thing that’s certain is that the error is caused by some operation that went wrong on the website’s end. Basically, there’s no real indication as to what really went wrong and caused the error. Try overriding something like fail2ban.The web definitions of the 500 internal server error are rather unclear. Try disabling any firewall software on your computer. iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -dport 22 -j ACCEPTĪt least one of those works, worst case scenario one fails. Let’s assume 22 from this point forward, though use your findings in #2 to inform otherwise. If it’s on another port and still fails the same, move on as well. Log in via web console and run this: netstat -tulpnĭo you see SSH? Is it on port 22? If not, try using the other port. While firewall can block ping too, I doubt you’ve done anything to block ICMP packets. Ping the droplet, see if you get a response. Let’s break those possibilities down a bit. I can’t say for sure which or which combination, but the timeout provides a clear indication that it is not directly based on login at that stage (though #5 would imply that it was in previous errors).

Something like fail2ban on the server blocked your IP for a period of time after a few failed logins.The client computer has SSH port blocked for outbound traffic.The server’s firewall has the SSH port blocked for inbound traffic.The SSH service is listening on a different port (not 22).Based on the provided information, it is my opinion that one or more of these is true:
