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

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
