Hi, I have just started getting the '500 Internal Server Error' only when trying to add a menu item to the primary links or while trying to enable the 'Content' menu. Everything else seems unaffected and this never happened before.

Most of the other posts on this subject say to delete the .htaccess file but I do not have this file in any of the directories (quite possibly I already deleted this ages ago).

The problem is I now have the 'Create Content' menu item in the navigation, even when no-one is logged on, but Content shows as being disabled in the menu admin. I think it's got stuck somehow and I need to enable it and then disable it again to make it disappear but I just keep getting the 500 error every time I try.

Like I said everything else seems unaffected, it only shows up when editing certain menu items in the menu admin. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Happend on my web too. Perhaps effect from installing CCK? I have already disable the module but the menu still cannot be edited because the list of my menu BLANKS! or EMPTY! Plus, Admin Menu on top of the page also dissappeared in edit menu page. Why? But no page is missing at the moment.

Here are some Status of my web.

Thank you.

Help needed!

I've also happened on a couple of sites of mine that are Drupal 5.x

When I try to add a new menu item or edit certain other menu items I get the '500 Internal Server Error' screen.

The only way I'm able to get around this is through editing the menu items on individual content pages (i.e. the menu item that links to that particular content item), but it's kind of inconvenient vs. the main menu admin interface.

I'm assuming this is an .htaccess issue, but does anyone have the solution?

Thanks,

Alex

When I want to add a new menu item, or when I want to change the parent item in a module , I get this error as well. The log on my server tells me, that a file can not be found. So I guess that this file can not be created and I have to change the writing permissions for some files or directories.

Updating to V 6 solved my problem.
