Getting Internal Server Errors After Installing Some New Sites
Aug 6, 2008
I have had my websites hosted with 1and1.fr for nearly 3 years now and have never had the slightest issue with them. I used to host a static average traffic website plus a punBB forum and some low traffic joomla based websites (nothing that needs much power as you can see).
A week ago, I bought a website (wordpress blog) and the guy included two proxies in the sale. I installed the two proxies and had a lot of trouble installing the wordpress blog so I moved it to another host where it now works all right. However, I am still getting 500 Internal Server Errors on my initial host (I thought it was caused by the wordpress blog) on all my websites hosted at 1and1 and it happens almost every other page!
I have many questions:
- are the proxies the cause?
- how can I know my websites have been moved to another server?
- do you think a VPS can solve the problem, or do I need a dedicated server?
- what is the best solution for hosting proxies?
I have sent a ticket to them yesterday and I am still waiting!
I am recently trying to install the ClamAV program onto my servers. Everything goes well and it is able to get installed but I am encountering some problems.
1) The program keeps recurring the scanning process on my /home directory and will not stop looping.... I waited for around 12 hours but it still keeps looping....
2) I have started the clamd and tested it out by loading a virus onto my server... Nothing happens... the file still is able to be uploaded and excuted....
Is there anyway for ClamAV to auto scan everything that gets uploaded or transmitted into the server? And also mail me its daily scan logs that is issue to be stored in a specific directory.
On our production service, we've been getting numerous malformed POST requests to some of our CGI scripts that are showing up as 500 errors in our logs. They are malformed in the sense that the actual content length doesn't match the Content-Length specified in the request.
Here's the most trivial example I can come up with that reproduces the problem for us:
In addition to the 500 error in the access log, we see the corresponding error in the error log:
(70014)End of file found: Error reading request entity data
Based on the nature of the POST request and the error response, it does appear that Apache is doing the right thing here.
The POST never actually makes it as far as the script being targeted (/some_valid_alias in the above example); in other words, Apache returns 500 to the client, writes the error to the error log and never executes the script.
Is there a way to capture/avoid internal Apache errors like 70014, and return some other HTTP status besides 500 (like 403)? It's particularly annoying in our case, because our server sends us an email for all 500 errors.
So far, our best "defense" against these 500 errors is to disallow POST for these aliases, which normally just ignore the POST data anyway (when the request is not malformed):
I run a proxy. First, I was on shared hosting. Worked for 2 months. then, bam! 500 internal server error.
I moved to a smaller VPS with 128 MB RAM. Worked for 30 min, then 500 internal server error again...
So now I moved to a larger VPS with 512 MB RAM, 1 GB burstable. Worked for 2 days, and now the 500's is back...
Rebooting the VPS usually fixes it, but I can not be sure I can continue rebooting it, as I expect it getting worse later.
It usually starts with lighttpd goes insane. One minute it's using 30 mb RAM, ok that's good. Then suddenly it uses 300 mb. then 500 mb. Then the 500 internal server error occur.
So any ideas of how I should configure this so it would work in a better way?
This is filled in the error log:
2009-06-02 13:21:16: (mod_indexfile.c.182) file not found ... or so: Too many open files / -> /home/admin/datashelf.net/
I have been trying to create my own web gallery using Adobe's Web Photo Gallery (as it seem to be so easy to use). I have created my gallery and it all seems to work fine when testing on my desktop. However, once I upload the files I get the error "internal Server Error"
what is a 500 internal server error? i was uploading things to my site and all the sudden on one of the pages where i submit a form it gives me a 500 internal server error. i contacted support and they said they were working on it. i have tried to upload an old version of the file that worked before but it still gave me the same error. they said they would get back to me within 24 hours, its been three days and i still have the problem and no notes/email from them . does internal sever error mean its not a problem on my side or could it be some of my code causing the problem?
I'm noticed I was getting bounced email errors from a company I was sending email through and I further investigated this by running a dnsreport on my domain.
Turns out that it fails at Acceptance of NULL <> sender, Acceptance of postmaster address, and Acceptance of abuse address. The domain that I ran a test on is using a new IP that I had recently added to my Direct Admin server. None of the other domains on my server are having issues like this.
Is is possible that I need to do something to enable these new IP addresses in exim? I mean, exim obviously responds to that IP address, but it seems to be having some issues with it.
my friend is getting frequently 500 - Internal Error on his sites when ever he starts to get good amount of traffic at a moment, and by the time it resets to normal more than half the traffic is lost, he is using wordpress blog, some other applications not of any traffic, an IPB forum, and some other image hosting script in total he has 3 databases used, he's not running to outage of RAM, he is using max.
70% of RAM at the pt. when this occurs, checked once long way back..
he usually gets lots of traffic to blog and image host as he posts some real good stuff..
None of security rules is listed in that error log, so I am totally lost. It's working once when I restart apache, but after that, it's not working anymore.
My web host provider uses suPHP and I'm having a lot of trouble installing a php script correctly. Even something as simple as <?php phpinfo(); ?> seems to give me an internal server error.
I switched over a new host and everything was working perfectly. I then uploaded one last directory but it had a weird internal server error when trying to access the index.php file. I then googled it and changed directory permissions to 755, and I am not sure if it is a coincidence but now every site on my server with php files displays that error but html pages are fine.
each web sites hosted on my server which use phpflag in .htaccess show the Internal Server Error, when I comment the phpflag line by # , the website work correctly.
I'm using IIS v5.1 on WinXP SP1 and I encountered this error (Page cannot be displayed.....HTTP 500 - internal server error) all of a sudden. now, i've been using my Web server with no hitches, but now I can't open any pages on the server that run server side scripts so i reinstalled it and still get the same "Page cannot be displayed" or I get part of the source code for the server side script. Pinging the server shows that its ok, it replies. and regular pages with no scripts still run with the http protocol in the address. Any ideas on how to get past this problem?
On my VPS SUPHP with PHP 5.2.9 and MySQL 5.0.77 is running absolutely fine.
Suddenly without making any change on the server today i got a 500 internal server error. I don't think there is any permission problem.
Now i change the PHP5 Handler to "cgi" so everything is normal but if i change that to suphp then showing "500 internal server error" anyone can tell the reason of the problem.... Apache suexec is "on" but off also doesn't make any change?
There is any cache/temp file folder for suphp which is filled or some other problem?
My friend got a new vps as he had been experiencing ram issues with older host, now he has 1gb RAM, so there should be no trouble with the RAM
He is getting 500 Internal Server error, he is using wordpress and some other image hosting script, the traffic is pretty high and he is using lighthttpd, fastcgi probably turned on
I am not sure, if turning of lighthttpd and activating apache would solve any problem, as I am scared his scripts might get screwed up by doing this move and his main sites could totally go down
Today when I try to access lxadmin, lxadmin give me the big 500 - Internal Server Error. The weird thing is my website stll works fine :p but of course I can't do anything like add domain and create database.
Also I try to update lxadmin via SSH and I get this:
Code: -bash-3.1# /script/upcp /script/upcp: line 3: lphp.exe: command not found I need help with fixing lxadmin panel.
I already post this question in lxadmin forum but the chance they answering my question is somewhat low..
