Have you recently installed wordpress 3.3.1 or did automatic or manually updated wordpress to wordperss 3.3.1 and got 500 Internal Server Error while accessing your WordPress Admin Dashboard (wp-admin). Most likely it is caused by low memory limit on your server.

Here is the easy fix for 500 Internal Server Error in your WordPress 3.3.1.

Create a new file “php.ini” in you wp-admin directory (you can do this through FTP) and write following lines in it. (Please note: file extension should be “.ini” not “.ini.txt” or something else.

memory_limit = 64M

If you already have “php.ini” file in your wp-admin directory then just add above lines in it.

Save the file and now access the WordPress Admin Dashboard, you will be able to access your wordpress dashboard without 500 Internal Server Error.
