HI, I got the following message from the Godaddy.com: After that my sit is not working and I am seeing the 500 internal server error. Please help me. It is very urgent for me.
Hi, You need to ask GoDaddy to look at the logs. The most common cause of this issue on suPHP servers is that the permissions are configured wrong. A 500 error will not go away after DNS propagation.
That's correct. If you don't want to wait for support, make sure your files are chmodded to 644 and your directories to 755. This hopefully should fix the error. If not, check your error logs, you might be able to resolve this without GoDaddy's support
HI, I have contacted godaddy. They are useless and not understanding the problem. Now I am getting 403 Forbidden error. How can I solve the problem myself.
You should have access to error logs from the control panel they provide you with. You can easily change permissions logging into your websites documents via FTP. For a 403 forbidden error you might want to check .htaccess files also.
Thaey are not providing error logs. What could be the problem with .htaccess for 403 error? Even I am not able to see the index page itself.
I'd look for a "deny from x" in any .htaccess files (remembering that they are recurring into sub-directories). Could be a range of other things as well GoDaddy doesn't provide error logs? Ouch.
Now its working..thanks. I have deleted .htaccess file and replaced it. Its working. i don't know why its problem
Glad it's working again. These things happen when sites are moved around... Ix updated their PHP version last week and all of my php embedding within html stopped working. It took me a while to figure it out but I had to change the handlers in my htaccess.
No it should still work just fine with PHP 5. What micksss was talking about was putting PHP scripts in .html files, instead of placing them in .php files. This just has to do with .htaccess and adding a handler including .html so the web server can parse it as PHP as well.
