Issue with the commenting system,

[kamesh419]

Dear all,

When ever I try to add comments to my blog I get an error saying

Code: Select all

500 - Internal server error
PHP file

All php files must be non-writeable by group and world to be parsed by suPHP. Change permissions on the php files: chmod go-w ~/public.www/*.php

The comment is actually getting logged. But instead of a message saying my comment has been submitted I get the above error. I seriously think that this is not some permissions issue, but some directory issue which is not configured properly in the serendipity admistration panel.

The following is the link to my blog.

Kamesh Musings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Kamesh.

P.S : Mistakenly I have posted this question in General Discussion Forum. I am sorry about that.

I have changed the settings for Default settings for new entries in my personal settings. Under this I have clicked on Yes to Comments & trackbacks to this entry requires moderation. Now every thing seems to work. Really strange for me. Strange.

All is well if it ends well

Regards,
Kamesh.

Hmm. It's obviously a permissions problem: your server won't let a file be world-writeable and execute it. That's sensible, since you wouldn't want anybody's dog to be able to execute code as if he was you.

But I didn't think that we used a different file for moderation and submission. I'll scan the code later and see if anything sticks out.

Meanwhile, I'm glad you got it working.
