Ran into more issues with wordpress. Dreampress’ one-click installation was just that: an installation without much support. Initially, I installed it into a subfolder of my existing website but soon ran into the problem that every second request to the homepage would end up as a 500 – Invalid Server Configuration error. Reinstalling it into a clean, dedicated hosted domain in Dreamhost’s panel seemed to solve it.

Hope this post will help some poor soul running into the same problem. Now I just have to figure out SSH setup again; at least I could reimport my old database.
