500 Internal Server Error

#1

Hey guys I’m having a problem and I need to get it fixed for school ASAP.

My error log shows this, but those files are now gone and don’t show in the FTP explorer…

You can disregard the common favicon.ico and missing.html errors.

Check your .htaccess for lines referencing to the other errors and remove them.

Joomla uses htaccess.txt… Is that fine?

#4

Check for a .htaccess file. You’ll need to enable hidden files to see it.

I believe the htaccess.txt in a fresh J! install contains rewrites for SEO or something of that nature. You’d have to rename it to .htaccess for it to have any effect on your site (as a .txt file it wouldn’t actually be doing anything).

READ THIS COMPLETELY IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE THIS FILE

The line just below this section: ‘Options +FollowSymLinks’ may cause problems

with some server configurations. It is required for use of mod_rewrite, but may already

be set by your server administrator in a way that dissallows changing it in

your .htaccess file. If using it causes your server to error out, comment it out (add # to

beginning of line), reload your site in your browser and test your sef url’s. If they work,

it has been set by your server administrator and you do not need it set here.
