Only "500 Internal Server Errors" after update

[totaltouch]

Hi there,

I am looking for support on this one. This night I planned an update on some of my DA boxes, all with different configs. I get stuck on 1 machine, which only gives "500 Internal Server Error", after a ./build versions

It runs SuPHP, which worked perfectly fine, before updating. I tried everything to get things resolved.. ./build all, ./build rewrite_configs, ./build suphp but it didn't work for me.

I guess my cliënts will kill me in a couple of hours ;)

- Box runs on Centos 5.2
- /var/log/suphp.log gives no warnings

Permissions on php file I am checking. HTML file gets served fine.

Can anyone shine a light on this?

Thanks in advance!!

Check /var/log/httpd/error_log.

P.S. if you want I can take a look at your server for free

[totaltouch]

There are some errors in the logfile, but as far as I can make up, they are not concerning the current failure... hmm..

I really would appreciate if you can take a look.

[smtalk]

Fixed, suPHP was compiled in paranoid mode, but configuration files were in owner (http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=176).

[totaltouch]

Great... Took me hours, you are way faster. ;)

But, do you know how did this occur after the update?
And how can I prevent this from happening?

Donation is on the way!

[smtalk]

The following part from http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=176 was not done, that's why you had had problems (update compiled suPHP in paranoid mode):


mkdir -p custom/suphp
cp -fp configure/suphp/configure.suphp custom/suphp/configure.suphp
perl -pi -e 's/paranoid/owner/' custom/suphp/configure.suphp


I've already done that, so you will have no problems in the future.

Thank you for the donation! :) I really appreciate that.

I am having this exact problem right now, but i cant seem to get it fixed!! Please help!!!

The server ran suphp before this update, and i made a "copy and paste" of the instructions on directadmin knowledgebase as posted, but still does not work!

Damnit, i am gonna get so much **** for this!

[smtalk]

Check /var/log/httpd/domains/domain.com.error.log.

[kirstin]

Thank you, i solved it!

[nobaloney]

Glad to hear that. Would you be so kind as to pass on what the problem turned out to be and how you fixed it, for the benefit of others who may have the same or similar problem in the future?

Thanks.

Jeff
