Internal Server Error [message #28051]

Hi,

I've tried to upgrade my forum to the latest stable release but am experiencing some problems.

When trying to run the upgrade.php schript I'm getting the following error message:

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

After performing this action, the forum does not function anymore. When staring the forum (or forum administrator) I'm getting the same message.

When checking the files, I've noticed that the GLOBALS.php file has been changed as the modification date was changed.

I remember a similar situation a while ago, when also trying to upgrade. Somehow, after a number of days, the forum was suddenly functioning again.

I appreciate your help, many thanks.

Regards,
Patrick

How are you running your PHP and what version of PHP are you using?

Try raising the memory limit or downloading the zlib compressed upgrade script.

I am not able to change any PHP settings.

Have you checked the error log files inside the errors directory?

Ilia,

I've checked error_log files in the the /var/log/httpd directory.
Here I find the error:

Premature end of script headers: php-script

I'm not able to start any PHP app from this directory. I've placed a small info.php app, which basically returns the PHP settings. This gives the same error????

I remember a similar situation a while ago, when also trying to upgrade. Somehow, after a number of days, the forum was suddenly functioning again.

Does it have anutging to do with the GLOBALS.PHP file???

Patrick

It looks like your PHP is crashing, which is usually indicative of this type of error. What PHP are you running?

PHP Version 4.3.10

Please run:

http://www.vanhooijdonk.net/info.php

This will give you the PHP settings.

I've copied the info.php to the forum dir. When executing, i'll get the same error message.

I think I see the problem. Remove the .htaccess file inside the forum's web root dir.

Ilia,

This file was already deleted.

It does exist in other dirs and forum_data sub-dirs
Should I delete those?

Just removing that one should be enough.

And the error still persists? Have you check permissions of the forum's main dir?

Any .htaccess files in the parent dir?
Have you tried chmoding the dir 755?

This made a difference.

Once changing the forum dir to 755, I was able to run the info.php.
Once I changed the index.php (in the forum dir) to 755, the forum seemed to work again.

Then I tried to install the upgrade. This failed and the forum dir was set back to 777. The forum did not work anymore.

I've changed the forum dir to 755 again, set the upgrade.php to 755. The upgrade worked fine, but the cons. check did not start. I've then changed all files/sub-files to 755 and could run the cons. check .

The only problem now .... it seems that all body content has disappeared ????? Sad

It seems like your virtual host is setup in such a way that 777 dirs are made non-web browseable, hence the error you were seeing. As far as the body content, check the messages/ directory and make sure it is readable by the forum and so are its contents.

Hi Ilia,

I see what you mean.
I have checked the messages directory and noticed that the msg_80000 file is only 12 bytes. It seems that all content is gone.

The problems with the forum started about a year ago. My provider moved my Domain from a server in the US to a server in The Netherlands. The US server was running in Safe Mode. The Dutch server is not. After the move, I have not been able to do any upgrades.

I'm starting from scratch now Smile

Smile

At least a clean environment.

Thanks for the help!!

I did notice that when 'unlocking' the forum, the Internal Server Error appears again.

I had to do a chmod 755 on the forum dir/files in order run the forum again. After 'locking' again all seems fine again.
