Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, ccoomer@6gc.net and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat) Server at www.6gc.net Port 80


This seems to be happening more and more frequently. It usually occurs randomly just after clicking on a topic or forum.

Problem fixed.

Warning: Technical Explanation Below wink.gif

Basically, PHP runs in safe_mode on my server. To prevent safe_mode from being on, so that I can make PHP exec() calls, I have to run PHP as a CGI, using a .htaccess file. However, with PHP running as a CGI, only a small number of connections are allowed. When this number is exceeded, 500 Internal Server Errors occur. To prevent this connection limit, PHP needs to not run as a CGI. This can be done by using the RemoveHandler directive in a .htaccess file in the forums/ directory.

When I ran the upgrade, I password protected the forums/ directory using my web host's control panel temporarily. This overwrote the .htaccess file, removing the RemoveHandler directive, causing the forums' PHP scripts to run in CGI mode, causing internal server errors. I replaced the .htaccess file with the proper one a few minutes ago and now the problem should be solved.

Thanks for clearing that up. wink.gif

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
