Please apologize, i still can't come out from that error, not alone anyway...

obiouvsly i've been reading all the forum's posts before post a new topic....

Well, i've been working on the .htaccess file as described on many posts, but it's still giving me the same 500 error page... i've been uploading twice everything and chmod as written in the install txt...but it's not working.

maybe someone here has had the same experience and can help me. thank you all.

running:
MySQL 4.0.23
Apache version: 1.3.33
PHP version: PHP/4.3.9

Can you please post your .htaccess file?

AddDefaultCharset utf-8

What I would do, is go through this file and comment chunks of code at a time, so you can pinpoint the issue.

For example, take:

Code::

# deny most common except .php <FilesMatch "\.(inc|tpl|h|ihtml|sql|ini|conf|bin|spd|theme|module|exe)$"> deny from all </FilesMatch>

and replace with:

Code::

# deny most common except .php #<FilesMatch "\.(inc|tpl|h|ihtml|sql|ini|conf|bin|spd|theme|module|exe)$"> #deny from all #</FilesMatch>

Then if you find that chunk of code isn't the issue, remove the comments.

Let us know when you have found the issue.

I am having the same issue, and I have tried your suggestion regarding commenting sections out to narrow down the issue. I literally have to comment everything out, or remove .htaccess, to get anywhere. If I so much as un-comment a single command (“AddDefaultCharset utf-8” for example) I receive the 500 error.

Help!

if you do
# AddDefaultCharset utf-8
then page load up?

some server specs would be very helpful in your search for support

stimpy, if you don't know apache version then i can find out by HTTP Header.

i had the same error and it was because of htaccess. someone needs to fix it. completely doesn't work with my brand new site5 account. not good.

Nothing wrong with it for me. Version 9.7 and everything below has worked for me just fine.

lots of changes in 9.3 to 9.7 htaccess.

It will only load if ALL lines are commented out... all of them, not just "AddDefaultCharset utf-8." So if any one line isn't commented out, I get the 500 error.

And this is probably about to be a stupid question, but how do I send you my HTTP header?

Firefox Web Developer Extensions.

i check, it said Apache/1.3.29 (Unix)

I am using Dragonfly for our team website, that I host on a Windows 2000 server machine. I love the CPG program and have been using it for at least 4 months now.


I'm having the same proplem with a site that i upgraded from 8.2b to 9.0. Everything was working fine for about a month now till yesterday. Getting a internal error 500 when you go into the index.php. But I can get into the admin.php with no problem, till i select the home page. I've modified the .htaccess file and even removed it and still getting the same error on the index page. If I put the site in mainteneance mode it will show the "We'll be back" page. I've gone through the MYSQL database and reset the users and passwords but still no luck. Looking through my Apache error log this seems to show up, but not sure what to do with it.

Premature end of script headers: c:/php/php.exe

I also had created a test 9.0 site before doing the upgrade to the 8.2b site, and it is functioning ok.

I'm still learning PHP and MYSQL so any help would be appreciated.

I'm not too sure as to what happened to my site, but i restored the database from an earlier date and now things seem to be working ok.
