Asked by Anapereira
Hi, I have a Cpanel & WHM droplet and my VA is migrating my websites from a shared account to digital ocean using Cpanel. He asked me to increase the disk space and so I did, now we can’t access the Cpanel or WHM page. I get an Internal server error 500. Any help would be appreciated. I am a newbie here.

Hello, @Anapereira
What you can do is examine the Apache error_log and track down any listed errors in the log. You can use the following command to get the last 100 entries of the log:
- tail -n 100 /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log
and you can also check the log in real-time with:
- tail -f /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log
You can also check the log from the cPanel menu in the corresponding cPanel account in the logs menu.
I would assume that the issue is with the .htaccess file so you can try to temporary rename it or comment out any custom values or rewrite rules in it as well.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
