all d5 site crashes sending http 500 status
I have to change my hosting company and upgrade the drupal 5.7 to 6.10.
Now I got an account with GoDaddy (VPS) - and this was my scenario:
1.install d5.7 on the new site (though access the site using its ip)
2.copy all the modules (the folders)
3.import the whole drupal database file from old site into the new site
4.start the upgrade to 6.10
Now with goDaddy I can use the ip to access the site and I managed to get all the site at one point look exactly as it is in its original version, but then somehow when going through admin pages, can't remember install.php or update.php, all pages started giving Internal Server Error 500 status response.
Anyone had similar encounter and any idea why?
the os is Fedora, and they have simple control panel that I use.
thanks in advance

What is your URL like? Is it
What is your URL like? Is it http://xx.xx.xx.xx/~account/sitename, or what?
Do you have Drupal's .htaccess file? Try deleting it or renaming it to see if it makes any difference.
Describe what you see. If you got the sites to work, what do the URLs of the menu links look like?
Don't try too hard to fix broken links etc while you are using IPs as URLs, because they will break again when you switch to proper domain names.
urls seem to be normal, but this is what I suspected
the url format and links (though all was base on ip addresses), even user logins were absolutley fine.
I thought maybe this crash started happening because of some "hard copies" of files I did from previous site (mainly I copied the folders with content - but since there are to many files in there I could not really tell what was inside those folders).
So I decided to go over this one more time - and this time I will be copying only files that are really content.
I'll make another post if I find why this happens - it may be due to custom module, or civicrm 1.7 that the site has, or smth else.
I will also check the log files why the 500 status code occured.
thanks again
check your server
I have sites on a VPS.
It coughs up 500 errors when the server is running out of resources.
Maybe your mysql server is overloaded.
This is something that you might check.
It could be multiple things
It could be multiple things including what dougzilla mentioned. We can do some verification on our end. You can submit a trouble ticket by following the steps in the this help article: http://help.godaddy.com/article/4596
Or, if you'd like, you can provide me with the server IP and I will take a look.

I found out what crashes all requests - civicrm!
Apparently civicrm crashes all requests to drupal - I checked the log files and this is what it gives me:
"[Sat Apr 25 05:17:04 2009] [error] [client XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX] PHP Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'CRM/Core/Config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /home/ppadm/public_html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/drupal/civicrm.module on line 225, referer: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/?q=admin/build/modules
"
When I phisically remove the folders of civicrm it shows some warnings on module page, but if I save modules' configuration without civicrm - it's all ok then. Civicrm version I need to create is 1.7 and drupal is 5.6.
thanks again
