Help, internal server error

Permalink
Hi,

Hopefully i have posted this in the right place! I'm very new to all of this and need some help. I'm usually pretty resourceful with figuring things out but can't get my head around this!

I'm creating a website as part of a project with someone and do anticipate to need to use it once i've developed a few more skills in this sort of thing however, my problem is as follows...

My home page loads fine however i get the following on any of the navigation links AND now i get it when i try to access anything on the dashboard! The error message is as follows:-

"Internal Server Error

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

Please contact the server administrator at root@localhost to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log."

I need to get the basic site ready for a demo ASAP. I'm told that some of the issues are something to do with a temporary url (how do i change that?!) but how to go about fixing any of it i'm not quite sure.

If anyone could help me i'd appreciate it and if you were close by the beers would be on me!

homepage url is thepeoplehavespoken.co.uk

many thanks!

Hi

Have you been able to check the error log?

No, not really sure how to go about doing that. Apologies for my ineptitude!

Ah It works with index.php:http://thepeoplehavespoken.co.uk/index.php/reviews...

Looks like you need to enable pretty urls and make sure your .htaccess file has been updated.

great! Is there a way to do that without having access to the dashboard?
thepeoplehavespoken replied on at Permalink Reply
yahoo! managed to figure it from there. Dashboard is alive again! Thank you!

I don't suppose you could help with getting the navigation links to actually do something? i've been told this is something to do with temp urls?! This was my burning issue before the dashboard disappeared!

Hi

Yes all the issues (including links) are due to the index.php in there. Have you enabled pretty urls and do you know how to check the .htaccess file?

Hi,

Yeah I've enables the pretty urls & I'm pretty sure I can see the htaccess.

If I'm looking in the right place this is what it says in the file


SetEnv DEFAULT_PHP_VERSION 55

# -- concrete5 urls start --
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /thepeoplehavespoken.co.uk/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php !-f
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# -- concrete5 urls end --

# -- concrete5 urls start --
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php !-f
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# -- concrete5 urls end --

Try it with just this:

# -- concrete5 urls start --
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php !-f
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# -- concrete5 urls end --

When using Apache as webserver, is the "rewrite_module" enabled?
thepeoplehavespoken replied on at Permalink Reply

Running apache on local machine or on a hosted one?
thepeoplehavespoken replied on at Permalink Reply

thanks

I would ask the hosting provider if this is enabled.
thepeoplehavespoken replied on at Permalink Reply
i've checked it out and apparently it is.
thepeoplehavespoken replied on at Permalink Reply
i think it's sorted. been bugging me all night. Only went and installed the 'under construction' add on right at the beginning of the build, totally forgot about it. it's not so obvious that you have it once installed. Now i've uninstalled it everything seems to work.

thanks a million for all your help, much appreciated!
