Question
Cannot access WordPress general settings - no data received (Chrome) or server reset (Firefox)
I am running Ubuntu 14.04 with Apache and WordPress 4.1.1. In wp-admin I can access all settings except the general settings. When I try to navigate to the general settings I get “no data received” when using Chrome, “server reset” with Firefox or “This page can’t be displayed” with Internet Explorer. How do I go about trouble shooting and fixing this issue.

you could try disabling your plugins to see if that solves it.
if so, re-enable them one by one to fine the culprit.
If plugins are not the problem, try changing themes
I disabled all plugins and tried different themes, but that had no effect on the issue.
I edited the options-general.php file to find out what could be causing the page not to load. Taking this one line out of the
wp_dropdown_languages
array allows the page to load:However, I am not savvy enough to understand why the server resets when this line is in the file.
