Re: [PHP] 500 Internal Error
Greetings Gurus! I am attempting to use PHP+MYSQL+APACHE and I have downloaded all the latest verions and installed them on a fresh windows XP install. Got the Apache server up and running, got MySQL up and running and installed PHP. Tested PHP with a script containing phpinfo(). Everything works great. Wrote a small script to connect to the MySql database. Tried to run the script (http://localhost/dbscript.php) and I get a 500 Internal Server error. I have been up and down the web for two days looking for a solution and I am completely frustrated. I HAVE to be missing something. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help. Thanks. MySql is enabled in php.ini. Paths are set to the php folder. I have NOT moved or copied any files whatsoever. Apache version is 2.2. Thanks. Since you are a windows user and you need to begin coding in PHP etc why don't you try WAMP for starters? http://www.wampserver.com/en/ It gives you all you need in one package. -- Thodoris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Ensure that you have 'show friendly error messages in the Internet explorer is turned off ( unchecked ). IE does like to hide errors with this feature.

A 500 internal server error is likely due to apache/php mis-configuration, it's doubtful any useful errors would have been given to IE to hide. However, the apache log files might have something - and is always where one should look first when the error is server side. If phpinfo() is working, it might be of value to see the code for the script resulting in a 500 internal server error.

I HAVE to be missing something. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help. Thanks. HTTP code 500 is, as the error message suggests, a *server* error. Meaning, it has nothing to do with MySQL, and likely is not related to PHP, but instead is a problem with the Apache configuration and/or permissions of the file. Check to make sure the dbinfo.php file is owned by the appropriate user and has permissions set to allow it to be read and executed. Though not as prevalent as on *nix systems, permissions errors can and do occur on Windows systems. If nothing seems out of place there, the next step is to check the log files. See if there's anything in Apache's error log related to this message (there should be, and being a local server, it should be one of the only things). Finally, if you can't find anything there, the next phase begins by asking your question in the right place. Now that you know it's not a PHP error that's causing it, and since we can also rule-out MySQL, we know it's an Apache issue. Best bet in this case is to go right to the source and ask on the httpd User Support list[1]. It could be any number of things, from what I mentioned above about permissions, to improper encoding, to a module not loading correctly, to gremlin droppings in your upper memory (hey, it's Windows). In any case, searching the web for two days was indeed the best place to start, so showing that intelligence gives you a leg up on many of the folks on the Internet today --- so there's no doubt in my mind that you'll have the issue resolved frustrating though it may be right now. If worse comes to worst, and you just want to move on with developing, there are several simple options for deploying a WAMP system. I would personally recommend XAMPP[1], but there are many other choices available as well.

Re: [PHP] 500 Internal Error
Hi, can you get a test echo with: echo test;exit when you call your dbscript.php? If not so. Your Problem is a install problem and need more info about where, what and permissions (Permissions are allways a problem for this strange cases) If you get a test then you problem can be the MySQL Functions you are doing. Here we need more Information/examples what you are doing. Regards Carlos Thodoris schrieb: Greetings Gurus!
