500 Internal Server Error

Post by LiTos »

Hi...
I've been looking in different threads for this but nothing helped. When I go to http://226.litos-hq.com/index.php it gives me this:

Code: Select all

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

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@226.litos-hq.com 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.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.41 Server at 226.litos-hq.com Port 80
This is the 2nd blog system im experiencing this problem with. On the other one I managed to get to the installation page but not any further (Im talking about blogcms). I dont have an .htaccess file, just so you know, all of my permissions are set normally. I tried both 775 and 777 for the folder that need to be chmodded. the /archives directory didnt exist so I made one myself.
This is also an urgent matter, it's best if I have the thing ready by tomorrow.
Thanks...

This indicates a problem with the server or its configuration. Sometimes servers try to protect users by restricting what permissions are valid; you can try 755 and see if anything changes.

However, the most common problem is disallowed .htaccess commands. If you had one, I'd say to remove it and try again.

The /archives directory is entirely virtual. It's used as a marker to determine what Serendipity should do next. You can remove your /archives directory safely.

Without any other information, it's impossible to choose your exact problem from the thousands of possibilities. Check your server's error logs (not access logs) to see if they can shed some light on the problem.

As I mentioned i had no .htaccess file. Maybe someone can give me a valid one?
Also, how do you check your error logs?
I just tried installing a different blog system and I get the same freaking problem.
On the other hand, at http://litos-hq.com itself I have a perfectly running website. Gah...

Hi!

You should talk to your hoster, they can investigate the error logs. It seems that your subdomain might be setup wrong.
