I built a web directory using phplinkdirectory. Actually, I upgrade my site to the new version. After finished upload all the files that need, I got the message Internal Server Error.

"Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

I'm waiting the reply of support ticket right now... I'll give the progress here..

Thank you.

Hi, I have successfully installed PHP 5, MySQL 5.1, Apache 2.2 and phpMyAdmin. I've test the phpinfo(); and it works fine. Besides, i have tested the connection between MySQL and PHP and it connect well. I have 2 php file-1)Form.php & 2)Insert.php. The form will undergo the insert.php to insert the data into phpMyAdmin.

However, i upgraded from IE7 to IE8 and received the http 500 internal server error. I still could display my phpinfo(); and form.php. But when i submit the form after upgrading my IE, i received the internal server error. Anyway to resolve this? Thank you in advance!

I got this error now...
So, From your feedbacks, i understand that i need to raise a ticket with my web hosting provider...Am i right? The Permission option makes me think differently bcos i have just changed permissions of few folders but they are not anywhere related to important folders or files so i believe like there is something fishy in the .htaccess .... I have replaced the file so that might be the reason.... Anyways thanks for the info....

I have a similar problem.. however.. the message I get is:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /forum/memberlist.php on this server.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache/2.2.11 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.11 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_jk/1.2.25 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.8.8 Server at fishcarverunderground.com Port 80

This comes from a forum I belong to. When a new post comes up it sends me a message allerting me of that new activity. Until recently, I could click on the link in the post and it would take me to the forum topic and the new post. Now I get this error message.. The owner of the site does not have the problem I experience.

Help???? Thanks, Bill

Nonetheless, it is a server problem. Double check that you're going to exactly the right address, and that you have javascript enabled. Sometimes poorly configured servers choke when things aren't exactly as they expect.

I made a Sharepoint website for my office and everything was working fine until today. Now, the main page gives an Error 500 while every other page works fine. Because it was made using Sharepoint, the code is not accessible (I think) offline. Any suggestions?

Thank You very much. I was getting the same error message and took your advise. I had changed permissions in the file public_html/admin/configuration and public_html/admin/admin.php my in zen cart root folder as I was adding the google base feeder contribution. I was getting the above error message when I tried to access (My Admin configuration) for my store.

I changed the permissions back to 755 and it is now working. I am very grateful to John for the info. Thanks

hi,

it's john again :>
it can be your .htaccess or if you set the premisson of a file or folder to 777 change it back to 755 or 644 or 666 and check if the error will diappear. ;)

yes, this problem happens to many times when i try to open my own site? can you tell me what ca I do to reconfigure again

Nope. There are literally thousands of possible causes. Check the error logs generated by your web server for clues.

One question: I am useing mozilla firefox to view my yahoo email account and there's been a new feature where you can "connect" to different people in your address list. But I chose to ignore that, so I clicked "inbox". There's a small light blue text box that says "loading..." below the tab (yahoo toolbar). I waited for many minutes and it seems that nothing is happening. If however, I decide to right click on "inbox" and choose to open in another tab, I would be able to go into that page, but the problem is that I can't push send because I can't "open" send in another tab. Who should I bring this issue to?

NOT TRUE. Or ot is true about 10% this article.
It is the client's FAULT! Just check your .htaccess file... argh!

.htaccess is a server-side component. Internal Server error is, by definition a Server error.

I have a desktop and a laptop. Only the desktop gives me this error and the laptop does not. I went through internet options and made sure all the options on the desktop were the same as laptop. I still cannot get all the links from the page to open up. As far as I know it only happens from links on this page after I put a symbol in get quotebox. I get this when I click on a link from left side margin listing.
"An error occurred on the server when processing the URL. Please contact the system administrator"
Why doesn't it happen on laptop?
Here is the page I start with.

The comment posted earlier didn't showed the scripts clearly hence another attempt is made to resolve the problem
if this script doesn't works then please check http://www.bigmantra.com and search for .htaccess
place the following code on .htaccess file

#php_flag lines

I may not understand a whole lot of what is going on with the whole internal error deal. I know I have one and it entails,
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, root@localhost 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.

Not exactly sure what to do....

I've encountered a problem of Internal Server Error which doesn't seem told on this page...

I have a perl file which runs perfectly through my computer on the Unix server... but when I run it on a browser on my computer, it returns the 500 Internal Server Error...

1) chmod 755 is set for all required files, other files are running on the browser no problem. Thus, there should be no misconfiguration problem.
2) The perl file calls an ASP file from another server to generate some data for the perl file to create a text file on the Unix server.
3) I don't know why the 3 error logs mentioned above I found on the server, are all blank text files... probably the path to them are set wrongly.

I'm thinking if it's the "HTTP request->GET" problem which needed to be changed when running on browser rather than server?
