Error 500 - Internal server error (1and1 hosting)
dynamicclothing - March 11, 2008 - 12:46
Hello,
For some reason last week when I tried to login to my admin I was prompted with this message:
"Error 500 - Internal server error
An internal server error has occured!
Please try again later."
Has anyone else come across this issue with 1and1 hosting? If so I tried to read some other forums and say that some ppl deleted their .htaccess file. Would this help? If so could it cause any problems.
Any help or suggestion would be great!
Thanks,
Sean

Deleteing the .htaccess file
Deleteing the .htaccess file is not the solution.
The first thing to try is to change RewriteBase statement in you .htaccess file.
#RewriteBase /drupalchange toRewriteBase /Here is a thread where this problem was hashed out and resolved.
http://drupal.org/node/187501
Hope it helps.
Thanks for the help!
Thank you for the help on the suggestion I followed the link at the bottom of your post and at the bottom of that the solutions was there!!!
Put this in your .htaccess file:
"AddType x-mapp-php5 .php"
and ur done!
Thanks for the help :)
This was the solution for me
This was the solution for me as well. If you are using 1and1 (Linux package), it will use PHP 4 by default. Adding the line above to your .htaccess file will tell Apache to use PHP 5.
Me too
I'm also using 1and1 (linux hosting package), and adding this line got rid of the 500 Server Error messages when enabling certain modules such as "Views".
Thanks!

Got it!!!
I just wrote in that I hadnt' gotten it... but between submitting it to preview, and getting the page back, it's fixed!!!!
My problems were solved by:
AddType x-mapp-php5 .phpRewriteEngine onto:
RewriteEngine ONRewriteBase /drupal57# Rewrite current-style URLs of the form 'index.php?q=x'.RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
And that did it!!
I'm using 1&1's Basic Linux Package.
Good luck!!
thanks for posting this! i
thanks for posting this! i just had to do this too!

I began getting this error after attempted install of CCK Module
I began getting this error after attempted install of CCK Module.
I then found this forum posting from this site:
http://pedroposada.com/blog/error-500-internal-server-error-1and1-hostin...
And tried everything I've seen in here...
Well, except for this portion:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-fRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
Any thoughts? Do I need to do that? If so, what exactly does all that do?
I'm using 1&1 Home Package
Using Drupal 6.4, and tried both the "stable" current download for 6.x, and later tried the dev download AFTER I had already gotten this error message.
I am only getting the error when attempting to view/edit modules. Everwhere else so far seems fine, though I've not tried but a couple other pages.
I just started using this drupal stuff last Saturday. Any help would be appreciated. If you give me any instructions, please assume I know absolutely nothing (if you don't mind). :0)
Got it again after attemped install of FCKeditor module

Got rid of message again by deleting FCKeditor folder.
I think fixed - I had accidentally renamed the .htaccess file
I think fixed - I had accidentally renamed the .htaccess file to htaccess
Glad you fixed it!
yes... that can cause some problems. I have to name it htaccess on my system, upload it and then rename it adding the dot.
Not just once have I been tearing my hair out because it has not been working!
Exactly my problem...
I'm glad I ran into this solution, it's been bugging me for a while, will try when I got home this afternoon!

IT WORKED!
The only thing is that I needed to increase the memory size in the PHP.ini file.
Thanks to everyone who posted all these solutions!

Nice site
BTW, I didn't look at it much yet, but just now glanced. The site you link to in your posts looks pretty neat so far. It's a great idea - something I've wanted to turn at least part of my site idea into (personal site - not church, of course), but just haven't gotten around to. If anything, it'll provide an example for me to look at! I'll have to bookmark it and look at it more later. :0)
Thanks
Your soulution works well.
Thanks
I cannot solve it!!

Any hints of what causing in your log files?
Any hints of what causing in your log files?
Log files at:
http://yourwebsite.domain/admin/reports/status
You can also access the actual log file(s) somewhere within the Drupal installation as text files, but I can't remember where off the top of my head.
Also, are you sure there are no updates that needed to take place that haven't?
And are you using a default theme to get to the admin settings, or are you using a custom theme. If custom, see if you can change to a default theme, such as Garland, and then see if it works correctly.
Poor php4 performance at 1and1 may be causing script timeouts
I think this problem is partially caused by poor php performance on 1and1 hosting. I notice that sometimes I can't get into the modules page, but if I hold down f5 in firefox on the 500 error page for a few seconds and then release, it loads almost every time. I get the feeling that something times out after 5 seconds under their default php4 configuration. Either their php5 server is faster or has a longer time-out.
This worked for me
I had a similar problem that when ever I added a new module, I would get a 500 internal server error when trying to access the access control page (only the access control link, I could access permissions via roles). The site in question is hosted by 1and1, so I added the 'AddType x-mapp-php5 .php' line to the .htaccess file and all worked fine.
