500 Internal Server Error

Post by dENIS »

Hy,

I installed Serendipity blog, and got message thet everything is OK, but when I thy to visit any of .php files (inde, admin area ...) I got the following message:

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apache/1.3.34 Server at www.megarock.hr Port 80


I'm accessing my account via FTPExplorer, have already read posts about this problem, but I can't find file .htaccess.
What should I do?

Thanks in advence for help.

Hi!

This is definitely related to a .htaccess problem. Please try a different FTP client, some of the hide files that start with ".". You may also need to ask your provider if he is allowing to show "." files in his FTP server.

You could also write a simple removeme.php file:

Code: Select all

<?php
unlink('.htaccess');
?>
and then call that via HTTP to remove the htaccess file...

Thanks,

IT worked, but when I put the removeme.php file in my root directory, and point complete address of .htaccess file insteda of only .htaccess, so if anybody has similar problem this is the solution.
Thanks again for quick help.

Greetings,
