Perhaps I missed the original post containing the problem, but can you 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
