[Solved] Error 500! - r3r3 - 12-16-2008 08:32 PM

Well second problem this morning,

I run te RC6 on debien etch on a virtual server
Linux analog-data.ch 2.6.18-6-xen-vserver-amd64 #1 SMP Fri Oct 10 07:37:54 UTC 2008 x86_64


Yesterday all was working fine, but late in the evening i started getting a 500 error on the main domain, it run a joomla website, when i remove the .htaccess everything is fine, with with this standard joomla .htaccess, i get the error 500 :/

All i changed yesterday was the phpinfo in the php.ini

I really don't understand, anyone have a clue?

RE: Error 500! - joximu - 12-16-2008 08:42 PM

RE: Error 500! - joximu - 12-16-2008 09:38 PM

hm, better the error.log from the domain.

In the other two everything seems ok (the server "error.log" has some errors because of a 5minute access from localhost - but this is not a problem an at least another story :-)

RE: Error 500! - r3r3 - 12-16-2008 09:52 PM

i think we got the problem but i don t know why all a sudden it started missbehaving?? It has something to do with the php.ini?

ok, it's obviously the "Option +FollowSymLinks" which is not allowed to be set in the .htaccess.

This is the apache-konfiguration.

Well - since this option already is enabled in the htdocs folders of the ispcp vhosts, you may just comment this single line in the .htaccess file and it should run as expected...

hmm alright, and thanks for your help you are the man!
still wonder why it start being weird without reason though.

it feels bad being a nub, now will troubleshoot better next time with the logs before asking questions!



Edit. oh also, how come my other domains works fine with this same htaccess in their htdocs?

yes, I'd also wonder - but well... some humanized features of the server... :-)

Hm, I just see that the settings in apache (ispcp.conf) for each htdocs is "AllowOverride All" which means also a "Option FollowSymLinks" should be allowed...

Code:
<Directory /var/www/virtual/xyz.ch/htdocs>
        # httpd dmn entry PHP support BEGIN.
        # httpd dmn entry PHP support END.
        Options -Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

at least there was *something* with the configuration...

maybe you find the mystery now since you know where to look for :-)
