[FIXED] WordPress internal Server Error 500 when moving hosts

Issue

I am trying to move my WordPress site from one hosting service to another. I made a backup and restored it on the new host. But I am getting internal server 500 error on the site. I have tried to fix the .htaccess file but its still giving error.

The issue is, if I try to rename it to test it, its not giving the internal 500 error but redirecting me to WordPress installation page called wp-admin/install.php

Can someone help me for solve the issue.Thanks

Solution

All the suggestions that are given are great, but if those do not work, then you can try to downgrade PHP. It had worked in my case when I was facing the same error.
