Accessing Plugins from WordPress dashboard gives error

Hello,

I'm developing a website using WordPress. When I try to access Plugins (either Installed Plugins or Add New) from the dashboard, I get the error message below (generated by: wp-admin/plugins.php). I checked logs in /var/log/httpd/ but it was not useful. Which server error log should I be checking?
Thanks for any suggestions you may have!

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Try adding the following to the bottom of your .htaccess, if it isn't already there: (pulled from http://codex.wordpress.org/htaccess#Basic_WP)

Code: Select all

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Feel free to send me a PM with the site, and I'll be happy to take a closer look.
