Server Down or Me - HELP?

[mlbfan]

Went to my site and see the following:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@baseball-almanac.com 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/1.3.14 Server at www.baseball-almanac.com (http://www.baseball-almanac.com) Port 80

I can FTP in and see my files. What's wrong? Please advise.

Deb has a well written response to this that I snagged from our EMS system...[nbsp][nbsp];)

For those with PHP3 directives within .htacess files, take notice of a new feature that has been added to the File Manager within the CNC.

FutureQuest has added a ".htaccess PHP Compatibility" utility to the File Manager (thanks Sam!!). This utility will automagically convert PHP3 directives to be compatible with both PHP3 and PHP4.

It is vital that those who have .htacess files, with PHP3 directives, edit these files to make them compatible with PHP4. Not doing so can result in broken scripts. The PHP Compatibility Conversion script will allow you to do this even if you are not quite sure you understand the process.

To use the script visit the File Manager within your CNC, navigate to your .htaccess file and select it. Then scroll down to the options drop-down menu and select ".htaccess PHP Compatibility" from the "File Conversions" section. Once you confirm the process your .htaccess file will be updated with a backup of the file made.

Things you should note prior to running the script:

1. This is meant to only be run ONCE per .htaccess file - running it more than once on the file can cause duplication that may break your scripts.

2. You are of course free to edit your files manually if you feel comfortable doing so. The new feature in the CNC is there for convenience and to ease some of the pressure for those who are unsure of the changes that need to be made.

3. If you have PHP3 directives within an .htaccess file, you NEED TO UPDATE THEM. PHP3 and PHP4 are different in this respect and PHP3 directives will NOT work with PHP4.

You Should Update Your .htaccess Files NOW.
Doing so prior to the upgrade is best.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Command Line Users Take Note:
If you are in the same directory as the .htaccess file type...
$/usr/local/bin/htaupgrade .htaccess
If you are not in the same directory as the .htaccess file type...
$/usr/local/bin/htaupgrade /big/dom/xdomain/full/path/to/.htaccess

Not sure what the differences are with .htaccess PHP directives?

The above should help get things going again for you.

Hi,

Thank you.

I did not believe that applied to me because it says that it applies to those using .php. I do not use any such files so I assumed, incorrectly, that it did not apply to me or my site.

It did and everything works fine now - thank you.
