[Forum] Internal Server Error 500

[Dutch_Boy]

Hello,

I have a strange Internal Server Error 500. Just installed vbulletin for the first time.

Only get this error we i hit the buttons Whats New and New Posts.

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

---

Apache/2 Server at www.clanscene.com Port 80

How can i fix this?

Kind regards,

Dutch_Boy.

Is it a dedicated/vps server?

If so, edit php.ini & turn on display_errors, then restart apache.

If not, your host may allow you use of a php.ini in your main root folder via ftp upload, which you can set the same flag via a php.ini file

display_errors = On

Checked server logs and class_core got a error on line 3220 -> include(CWD . '/includes/config.php');

// parse the config file
$config = array();
include(CWD . '/includes/config.php');

[snakes1100]

did you rename config.php.new to config.php in the includes dir?

did you verfiy that you properly edited & configured your settings in config.php, also verify that you didnt remove any coding values, you need ot simply plugin the correct info for the db.

[Mark.B]

Can you paste the actual error from the server logs?

[Dutch_Boy]

Here is the server log we can download. Check the latests errors. We have reinstalled the forum again :P

Looks like this is only happens on search.php, re-verify your upload of that file in ascii mode via ftp or what ever your using to upload files.

Where can i find the ascii mode in filezilla?

--Edit--

NVM found it and didnt work

- - - Updated - - -

Update.

We ONLY get this error when we hit on the button Whats new and New Posts

[Mark.B]

I would reupload ALL the files again, in ASCII mode.

The error seems to be on getdaily searches:

http://www.clanscene.com/search.php?do=getdaily&contenttype=vBForum_Post

But the main search page loads fine.

http://www.clanscene.com/search.php

This suggests it could be one of the files that the search uses, rather than search.php itself.

[Dutch_Boy]

Didnt help re-uploading all the files.

Doing a fresh install right now!

[Mark.B]

I would in that case download the package again from the members area, and uplaod those files instead.

Thats something im not going to do because that wont work. I have installed the older version 4.1.0 and the same problem. Upgraded to 4.1.2 and didnt work.

And a few seconds ago if done another fresh install with the ASCII mode and didnt work....

Any other ideas?

It's difficult for us to help you if you won't do what we suggest. Sometimes these things are necessary just to rule certain problems out.

Ill try it tomorrow.

We allso contact our host and ask if this is on in apache mod_rewrite.
There sleeping at the moment so have to wait till tomorrow.

Edit:

**** it! Reinstall the forum right now! :P

[snakes1100]

mod_rewrite isnt going to cause that issue.

typically that error is caused by corrupt files or bad coding in hack/addons for vbulletin, as this is a new install, this is most likely a file corruption issue on upload.

so a reup of all file, excluding images should be done, images should be done in binary, not ascii.

you also dont need to reinstall, simply reup the files
