500 server error again!

[gilly]

Sorry that this has been covered so many times, but I am yet to find the answer.

And yes, I have read this: http://help.websitebaker.org/pages/en/knowledge-base/files-and-permissions.php - it didnt really provide any answers.

Anyway, I have just installed WB on a shared host, and all went fine. Created 2 pages, the home page loads fine, but anything that is not in the root (as in any pages other than the home page) returns a 500 Internal Server Error.

Code:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@3amdesign.com.au 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.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Here is my website baker install: http://3amdesign.com.au/bizboost

I used that "Check File Permissions" code thing on the homepage to try and troubleshoot my problem.

Its a fresh install so I shouldnt need to manually change file permissions via FTP should I?

I had a similar problem and found that it was my permissions.  Some hosts no longer allow a permission of 777 on a file.  Check your files and at the most have them at 755.  This worked for me to get back up and running.

thanks for that.

Which files/folders need to be set at 755? All of them?
Or just those in the pages folder?

I did get them working at one stage by making the page files 644, however this is not sufficient as when you create a file via the admin panel it doesnt come with these permissions. You really dont want to be going into the FTP and changing file permissions every time you create a page.

Hi, I have the same problem, setting chmod 777 doesn't work.
Here is my phpinfo: http://www.trentoasa.it/phpinfo.php

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello,

@.::MDT::.
Your Apache runs as CGI and not as modul. This means that not only to low, even to high file permissions cause that scripts didn't work. Ask your hoster wich file permissions you should have. 777 is to much, think 755 should do the trick, but for to be shure ask your hoster.
