summarise what the problem is, what's changed, and what's now broken?
If you're receiving a "500 - Internal Server Error", this implies that
something will be added to the Apache error log explaining what the
problem is.
I recently finished installation of Media wiki. As per instructions, I copied the
localsettings.php file to the parent directory, and followed the link that it
gave me which brought me to my new blank wiki. Before I had a chance to
do anything I accidentally closed the browser window. When I re-opened the browser window
I could no longer access the wiki. It is saying there is an internal server error or
misconfiguration. Here is a link to the page with the error.
www.drsecrets.com/wiki
You mentioned Apache, and I did notice this at the bottom of the page:
Apache/1.3.37 Server at
www.drsecrets.com Port 80
I have double checked that the localsettings.php file was correctly moved to the /wiki
folder,
I tried renaming the .htacess file which you saw didn't help.
As for checking error logs in apache, I'm not quite sure I have access to that. As
I said earlier, I'm very green to all of this. I have learned that Apache is a web
server software. Someone else hosts the site for me, but I do have access to a program
called Cpanel which has a file management system and a bunch of other things. The error
logs page has a bunch of errors that look like this:
[Thu Apr 19 18:54:50 2007] [error] [client 24.14.142.223] File does not exist:
/home/drsecret/public_html/500.shtml
[Thu Apr 19 18:49:02 2007] [error] [client 74.6.75.48] File does not exist:
/home/drsecret/public_html/robots.txt
[Thu Apr 19 18:42:48 2007] [error] [client 24.176.170.119] File does not exist:
/home/drsecret/public_html/favicon.ico
These three errors are repeated at different times durning the day...there are about 20
total. If these are not Apache errors, I can get in contact with the person hosting the
site for me, and I'm sure he would have access to them. If there is something else I
should try, I'm open for suggestions!
Thanks!
Mike
