Internal Server Error

Using your ftp client, rename the .htaccess file to ‘htacess.txt’
That will let you get back in.

If you made no changes at all before this happened, email your host and see what they have done.

Thanks Podz.
I’ve tried that but no luck. I also notice I have 2 .htaccess files. One is simply called .htaccess and the other is called .htaccess1124274218. Is there any relevence to this and which one should I tinker with? The .htaccess file has only FrontPage extensions present (I know ..), but the other file has much more and includes WP details and rewrites.

https://www.airdrie.net/weblog2/
is working for me…

.htaccess is a valid file, the other is not – just delete it. If you are worried, download it first.

Just a further note: in my root blog folder I have found a file which is named “/core.18463” and is 55128kb in size. Does anyone know what this is or why it’s there?

That file shouldn’t be there. It is a temporary file that has obviously grown to large. Contact your hosting provider.

As for the internal server error, “More information about this error may be available in the server error log.”

I’ve checked the error log and these are the entries for 10th Nov.

Does it make any sense to anyone?

I recommend that you download a fresh copy of the current Bad Behavior (v1.2.3 at this time) and re-install it.

Bad Behavior requires PHP 4 or PHP 5. It does not run on PHP 3.

Your site looks fine now. I presume installing a fresh copy fixed it, or that you otherwise found and fixed the problem.

Good catch Michael, but how did you see that he was running PHP 3? Is it just from the types of errors that were displayed? I’d like to know for future reference.

Hi Error. Thanks for the feedback. I still have a problem with the Internal Server Error even though I replaced Bad Behaviour. Another problem related to this is that I cannot get into Admin on my site to activate the latest bad Behaviour plugin although when not logged in the site appears fine. It’s weird! Another thing I noticed is that when I click the link to my site (ie from my Favourites menu) it always shows me as already logged in. I then logout and try to log back in again but always get this Internal Server Error message. Any other thoughts? Oh, and I seem to be running PHP v4.4.1 (suExec enabled) and MySQL v4.0.25-standard according to cpanel which is provided by my website host details.

What happens if you remove all of the Bad Behavior files?

Macmanx – basically nothing! I deleted the Bad Behaviour folder from the Plugins area and it did not have any effect. I then loaded the new version but as I said, did not activate because I can’t get into the Admin area due to the Internal Server Error so at present I have several messages from visitors which I can’t moderate due to this also.

Hm, try this:

1. Delete all of the Bad Behavior files.

2. Attempt to access your admin area (thus triggering the internal server error).

3. Immediately proceed to your server error log.

4. Copy the contents of the log for the past hour and paste them here.

Hi Macmanx. I’ve carried out what you asked and error log is below:

Hope this makes sense.

I’m having a similar problem with svn code. I’ve posted to the Testers list. If there could be anything shared I will post back.
