Topic: 500 Error in Standalone (split)

[PavelK]

Has the same error. But

Admin > SimplePortal > Configuration > General Settings area set Standalone URL

and

$forum_dir = '/home/Myname/public_html/Forum';

set correctly.

Ok. Sorry.

php version 5.2.17.
On shared hosting from hostgator.

I'm test it on other server (VPS) with 5.4.45-0+deb7u2 and it's work.

Can I fix this on shared hosting from hostgator?

Are you by any chance on a windows server?

No. On hostgator Linux CentOS, on other server Debian GNU/Linux 7 (wheezy).

Hostgator is known to have extremely badly configured servers, which often cause issues like 500 errors and similars :/ A somewhat good start would be to ask them to disable mod_security on your server, as it's not really useful and it interferes with smf (which has a similar system built-in already), although I am not sure it would help.

Well...
Support already fix error 500 with smiles. So hostgator shared hosting not recommended for smf. Did not know.

How can I get more detailed information about error for send it to hostgator support?

[♦ Ninja ZX-10RR ♦]

No, Hostgator is really not recommended as host in general, same goes for GoDaddy and some others (although GoDaddy guys aren't bad for domains).
Perhaps the server error logs will have more informations, they will be able to see the logs on their own, I think.

Thanks for answers.

Support say that:

file permissions. PortalStandalone.php was writeable by others and group.

and

It probably held over the permissions from where ever it came from. Theya re fixed now.
They were 666.

I have not changed anything.

This file in other server(backup copy of hostgator) is realy -rw-rw-rw- permissions.

[♦ Ninja ZX-10RR ♦]

Hmm, generally file permissions should be 755 on folders and 644 on files... Generally.

Don't know why it happened. I'm really not edit file permissions.

[♦ Ninja ZX-10RR ♦]

Not sure what you mean either, permissions changed on their own or something? Did they "fix" it and change them? I see the topic is solved but I can't figure out if it is because the previous topic was solved or if you solved this problem and marked it as solved yourself... Not really understanding :/
