I have a problem that whenever I go into the child theme customization (appearance > customize), it says “Internal server error” and I can’t see the website preview. This is although the website is up and running normally. I’m using WP Bakery for the page customization.
How can I solve this? I tried uninstalling the theme and reinstalling, I tried updating, and I tried uninstalling plugins and re-installing them, but to no avail. Please help.

Hello,

Thanks for using XStore.
500 Internal Server Error – means there is some Fatal error in PHP script or on the server side. Contact your hosting providers and ask to give you a server error log to check what is wrong.

This doesn’t solve the issue, because I get the same error even on my local machine.

Do you have any errors in the server error log or when enable debug mode? https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/

I’m not getting any errors in the log other than a warning related to a plugin that I installed recently, way after the error has been coming up.

Hello,

We need to check the server error logs but don’t have access to file /opt/bitnami/php/var/log/php-fpm.log Could you, please, change permissions to allow our user to read the mentioned file.

I tried deactivating and reactivating each and every plugin, and found that xStore core is the plugin that causes this error. I have the last version installed (Version 3.1.2).

Hello,

Our plugin includes all theme options, that’s why it requires more limits than the default customizer. We need to find out what limit exceded on your server. So, could you, please, change permissions to allow our user to read the /opt/bitnami/php/var/log/php-fpm.log file?
To provide you the solution to fix the problem. Or provide us with ssh access if you can.

Hello,

That access does not allow us to read the file because of permissions http://prntscr.com/vllpw3
Do you have the cPanel access? We need to check the logs and need to be able to change the server settings to try to fix the issue.

Hi Olga, you cannot access these files using FTP, you need SSH. I sent you the credentials earlier. Please tell me if there’s anything else I can do.

Hello,

We found that the following errors appear
```
[Tue Nov 24 12:10:52.037712 2020] [substitute:error] [pid 27751:tid 139738472232704] [client 176.98.73.124:58684] AH01328: Line too long, URI /index.php, referer: https://riz.shop/wp-admin/customize.php

```
One of our clients already had such error https://www.8theme.com/topic/internal-server-error-2-2/#post-234594

Could you, please, contact your hosting provider and ask to increase the mentioned limit globally? Changes in the .htaccess file of your WP directory do not make an effect because of server settings.

Thank you for your help, you led me to the right direction and I was able to solve it. I implemented the code in the post you linked, but not in the .htaccess, rather I did it in the /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/conf/httpd.conf file
Then I restarted Apache using: sudo service bitnami restart

I’m not sure, but I think the same issue is here:
