Internal Server Error

aquanius

I just installed vanilla to a subdomain on my server, and when I navigated to the page to start the install I got "Internal Server Error". I've used the version prior to 1.0.1 and everything worked fine when applied to a subdomain, but now I'm not able to get any further in the installation. Any ideas?

Without more details no. Do you have access to your error.log?

aquanius

Where would I find that?

Have you tested to see if php is working properly? Mysql? Versions?

aquanius

php version is 4.3.6 and mysql is 4.0.18. php is working properly on other subdomains I have, and i've made a few more putting other files in them, and I'm not getting an Internal Server Error. It seems to only happen when I put all vanillas files in there.

Are you using the friendly urls addon and do you have any .htaccess files in the directory? Is the subdomain setup as a virtualhost in your apache config?

aquanius

I'm not using any extensions seeing as I haven't installed yet. When I go to the page to begin the installation I get the Internal Server Error. The only .htaccess file in the directory is the one that came bundled with vanilla. I set up the domain by adding a new folder by creating a directory called "subdomain.domain.com".

there's a .htaccess file bundled with vanilla now? in the root of the forum?

aquanius

Yes. It was in the zip file I downloaded from getvanilla.com. In the root dir.

ithcy

hmm... does it have a bunch of "RewriteRule xxxxx" stuff in it?
if so, rename it to htaccess.txt until you have the forum working and the friendly urls extension installed.

aquanius

You mean this?

RewriteEngine On Options +FollowSymLinks -Multiviews #Discussions RewriteRule ^discussions$ index.php [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^discussions/$ index.php [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^discussions/([0-9]+)$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^discussions/([0-9]+)/$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)$ index.php?CategoryID=$1 [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/$ index.php?CategoryID=$1 [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$ index.php?CategoryID=$1&page=$2 [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/$ index.php?CategoryID=$1&page=$2 [QSA,L]

There's alot more in this file, but thats the beginning of it.

ithcy

yeah. rename it.

(or else change it to say 'RewriteEngine Off' at the top)

aquanius

Thanks a bunch ithcy! Everything works now.

ithcy

great

Is friendlyurls part of the core now then? Or was that a bug on marks behalf?
