Topic: Installation: Internal Server Error

Hi to everyone.
I tried eight times. No way.

The facts:
- SimpleXML enabled
- Apache
- PHP Version 5.2.10
- GetSimple 1.5

The operations:
- tried changing CHMOD (755, 777, to "/data/", to all, also including subfolders);
- tried to switch "GetSimple" folder to "getsimple" (case sensitive?) or to change completely its name;
- inserted sitename, path of the getsimple folder, email;
- got an automated password, (and an email) with the message:

"Your registration information has been sent to info@mydomain.com
Your username is *myusername* and your password is EKRCXMe  »  Log in"

So I log in, and the only response is all the times the following:


Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, postmaster@mydomain.com 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.



Any ideas?
Thank you.

Re: Installation: Internal Server Error

I have that error when trying to view images.  It has to do with the owner.  If you know the user that is allowed to access your webroot,

chown -R [username]:[groupname] [directory] 

If not, do a

 chmod -R 777 [directory] 

on the directory that GS is in, and tell me if that fixes the problems.

Re: Installation: Internal Server Error

That would be a htaccess issue, is there a .htaccess at the base folder?

Try emptying it. even if GS doesn't load, but the message disappears you know it's that.

Nothing is too difficult... anything is possible.

Re: Installation: Internal Server Error

I think crashfellow is right. Try to delete or comment first two rows in .htaccess:

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks

It helped me when I had such problem...

Re: Installation: Internal Server Error

vsky - any idea why those lines would cause something like this to happen?

@ccagle8

no ideas :(

@blackego

please provide apache httpd.conf as attachment

Re: Installation: Internal Server Error

My guess is that the folder set in the .htaccess file is incorrect.

RewriteBase /subfoldername/

Not

RewriteBase /

Has the website been installed at the base folder or sub-folder?

Re: Installation: Internal Server Error

First go to gsconfig.php (rename temp.gsconfig.php to gsconfig.php if there is none ) and
# Turn on debug mode
#define('GSDEBUG', TRUE);

remove the # in front of define('GSDEBUG', TRUE); so it becomes:

define('GSDEBUG', TRUE);

Now try again and you will see the exact error.

I had a problem din DOM/XML not being installed  on my server, (allthought simplexml was installed) and after a:

yum install php-xml

and restart apache, everything worked fine.

Re: Installation: Internal Server Error

Hi

I have a question along the lines of this post.

I am very new to PHP / Apache / etc, so please excuse any daft questions.
Saying that I am not new to software by a long stretch.


I am on a third party web host, and according to all the install and health check side of things from Get Simple CMS - everything is installed as needed.

I am installing the CMS into a sub-folder named "test", as I only want this folder to be using the CMS for now - the rest of the domain is static html pages at present.

so would access it on http://www.mydomain.com/test

The admin worked and I set it up, however I cannot browse to any pages I have created - e.g. I have created a page named contact with the slug as contact.

Clicking on the icon next to the page number it loads http://www.mydomain.com/test but I get an "Internal Server Error".

I am looking at the .htacess in the test folder which has this:



AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
Options -Indexes

# blocks direct access to the XML files - they hold all the data!
<Files ~ "\.xml$">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
    Satisfy All
</Files>
<Files sitemap.xml>
        Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Satisfy All
</Files>

RewriteEngine on

# Usually it RewriteBase is just '/', but
# replace it with your subdirectory path
RewriteBase /test

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]


Any help / suggestion would be useful to say the least.

Thanks

Ian
