got 500 Internal Server error in joomla [duplicate] - joomla

I have installed new site in Joomla 1.7 and its working fine, but when i checked its back-end (administrator) got 500 Internal Server Error.
Note: Site is working fine in Local server.
Please suggestion me any solution.
Thanks in advance.

First you have change folder permission to 775 for the following folders:
cache, logs, tmp & administrator/cache
then go to: configuration.php
find code:
$log_path = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX';
$tmp_path = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX';
and change code into:
$log_path = './logs';
$tmp_path = './tmp';
problem solved :)

I had this problem, but none of your advices didn't help.
I fixed a problem only after I switched off all modules via PhpMyAdmin (PMA).
Table modules, changed parameter "published" to 0 for all and then enabled only few modules with these types:
mod_login
mod_menu
mod_sumbenu
mod_toolbar
mod_title
After this I entered admin page and used top menu to enable all needed modules one by one. After admin page started to give me 500 error again I knew what module is faulty and I disabled it again via PMA.

May be some files are not uploded.Check failed transfer of your FTP server.Make sure all the files are uploded online

Check your error logs and backtrace what is causing the error. It sounds like you have MySQL errors, make sure any of your components/modules/aren't tricking out your site.
Think it's a component?
You can login into PHPMyAdmin and disable/enable modules manually by unpublishing them using the table editor, changing isPublished to 0 .

Try reinstalling database with the correct compatibility and also check web.config file on ftp for correct configuration paths !

I experienced something similar on my site. Digging through the log file, /administrator/error_log i saw this error message:
[08-Oct-2012 15:28:59] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function login() on a non-object in /home/XXX/public_html/administrator/components/com_login/admin.login.php on line 65 .
Problem was, i had a previous installation of Joomla 1.5.x, and uploaded files for Joomla 1.6 to replace the previous files and upgrade security of the site. Took me almost a month to find a solution for my own case;
Finally found out from this website that I needed to completely delete all previous files in the website root directory before uploading a new version of Joomla.
Hope this helps someone out there who is in the same situation!

I also have the same issue on my site backend when editing or saving some articles, modules etc...Finally i solved it...
Add these lines to /etc/httpd/conf.d/mod_secuirity.conf on your server
SecRuleEngine Off
save it...and restart apache...it works fine for me.
Adding these lines disable mod_secuirity engine off.I don't know if it causes secuirity problems in future..
Tnx all...

Change the permission of folder administrator at 775 or 755

I tried all the above ideas. Without avail. For my site (which was an outdated Joomla 1.5.x site- don't ask!!!), where the backend suddenly stopped working, the final solution was switching the servers PHP version from 4 to 5.5 (even 5.4 did not work!).
I then got some strange PHP warnings in the frontend. But I then updated Joomla from the now again working backend to the last 1.5 version and everything worked fine from the on.
Phew! Maybe this helps someone later on...

In my case there was a single file with bad permissions.
It can be tricky to figure out which file has the problem so just run this to set the permissions for all the files in the directory:
chmod -R ug+rwX .
chmod -R o+rX .

Change the permissions of all of your files/directories.
Files should be 755
Directories should be 644

This is my case and my solution:
I have changed my server and got this error. I have protected my administrator folder using password protection method. So I have checked my new server and found that my protection information are not saved in control panel. also my .htaccess file (in administrator folder) is not compatible to my new server.
The solution:
Simply protect my folder using control panel
I have renamed the .htaccess file to htaccess.txt
It is done.
I hope it could be useful ;)

Magento: Settings has not been loaded. Used default settings Wrong config file size connect.cfg please save Settings again

I am receiving a following error
Settings has not been loaded. Used default settings
Wrong config file size connect.cfg please save Settings again
in magento connect. I tried to delete files and did every possible thing, but the issue is not getting resolved. Please help me with possible solution guys. Also the extensions are not getting installed because of this and we are not able to solve problems.
We are using magento 1.9
Make sure that you click settings and click save as this flag will not clear until you do so. I was pulling my hair out with this as I chmod'd the files and chown'd the directory's but it was still showing the error. So once the file and folder permissions are set correctly go to the Magento Connect manager click the settings tab and click save settings then go back to extensions tab and the error will now be gone.

When you are in magento connect manager and you get this error
*
Settings has not been loaded. Used default settings
*
Click on magento conect manager Settings tab (top left) and select Use Custom Permissions --> YES and default should be 777 for folders and 666 for files. Deployment Type --> Local Filesystem and then hit SAVE SETTINGS.
The problem should be solved. At least that's how I solved mine when I got this error.
Be sure the /dowloader folder permissions are set to 777 and you can also chown the folder with the apache user. That worked for me. I have done:
chmod 777 -R /downloader/
chown www-data:www-data -R /downloader/
replace www-data with your apache user.
I've done this and worked perfectly for me.
It's a well known issue.
Check if the file named "connect.cfg" hasn't been modified (for
exemple: when I get this issue, the file has nothing into it, every
parameters have been removed and the size is 0kb)
Take a backup of this file and overwrite the existing
The issue should be solved know
For info about the access rights, I have :
2775 for the folder "downloader"
0664 for the file "connect.cfg
chown apache /var/www/ -hR will solve this problem.

The requested URL was not found on this server (Magento)

I am using Magento ver 7. I have changed the server of my website with the same URL.
So, I export the database from old server and Imported the same database to new server. Apart from this I have also uploaded all the files to the new server.
I have also changed the database credentials in the /public_html/app/etc/local.xml file.
But now when I am open the URL, it shows an error that "Not Found, The requested URL /index.php/ was not found on this server."
I don't know why this is happening.
It works for me.
turn off url rewriting from magento admin configuration>web> Search
Engines Optimization > Use Web Server Rewrites > No
RewriteEngine comment this line in In your .htaccess in the root of your installation
I tried many solutions to resolve this issue.
One thing I did was I removed the local.xml file from the app/etc directory and reinstalled Magento. While reinstalling, in the third step I checked the two check boxes. One is skip base url and the other for url rewrites.
Then it worked like charm.
I also got this problem when I was restoring a backup of the magento folder, The problem was that I copied the files with the wrong command:
cp -R /something/folder/* /folder
This command does recursive copying of all folder but ommits the files which start with ".", therefore the files which make a redirection like ".htaccess" where not copied.
Instead use:
cp -R /something/folder /folder

Joomla set Temporary PHP directory

I installed Joomla 3.1.1 Stable on a Centos system.
I can access it, browse through it's admin backend and frontend, but I found in the Extension Manager/Warnings that "The PHP temporary directory is not set"
I went on google and found a fix: I created a php.ini file where I completed this line:
upload_tmp_dir = var/www/html/joomla/tmp
I did that because that is the location where I installed joomla (var/www/html/joomla/)
The fix I found online gave some other location for this folder, it was something with the home/accountname/public_html/... , but I do not have joomla installed in any accounts, it is installed in the "public": var/www/html folder.
I am asking what am I doing wrong because even after doing this, the warning stays the same:
"The PHP temporary directory is not set"
How can I fix this?
I set up the permissions for the entire joomla folder to 40777, and then to the inner folders and files so I would avoid a permission conflict. I then disabled the FTP from Global Settings (before doing this I was receiving a lot more errors when trying to upload anything)
I seriously thought that installing joomla on Centos would not give me so many headaches.
I need to install an extension in joomla (for a template) and I have an error that says nothing to me:"-1 - An error has occurred." - "Copy file failed" so I try to fix any warnings/errors that may cause this before giving up.
The fixes found online about this error (Copy file failed) refer to joomla 1.5 - 1.6. How is it possible that I still get it in version 3.1 ? It is rather absurd.
Any help would be appreciated.
Try to set it via .htaccess file, just add this:
php_value upload_tmp_dir /var/www/html/joomla/tmp
It started working after I changed permissions to ALL subfolders located in var/www/html/joomla
I will reset those permissions after I finish with configuring and customizing the website.
But for now, that was my solution.
-di3sel - the upload_tmp_dir was set up correctly in the php.ini
Thank you both, but my problem seems to be solved now.

Codeigniter configuration & debugging problem

I have changed my server with a project running on codeigniter. I already installed everything (PHP, MySQL, Codeigniter, etc) and all the processes seem to work fine.
But now I'm trying to connect to my project homepage, but I only receive a blank page.
It's not a rewrite problem (the Codeigniter index.php works fine...I can echo anything within the index.php). The database login is also correct.
Any ideas how to debug so that I can find a solution.
it was a CHMOD Problem:
the log folder was not writeable. the strange thing: both folders have CHMOD 755, but when I changed the folder to 777 the site works...
