Error 500 after installation

Thursday 26 May 2005 7:19:14 am

Hi,

everbody around me recommended eZ, so I downloaded and installed, went to the new site and got an "Server Error 500".

So now I found out it has to do with php, cgi and URLs with "index?/etc...".

Problem:
I'm usind 1und1 as hoster ("virtual server") and am not able to change the PHP configuration - probably like many others.

Question:
Is there any way to fix this problem? Will there be an update which enables people like me to us eZ?

A solution would probably increase the usage of eZ a lot ;-)

thanx
David

"So now I found out it has to do with php, cgi and URLs with "index?/etc...".

Can you put in the exact URL you are having problems with? This example would not be valid on most servers. I would expect something more along the lines of:

www.foo.com/index.php/gallery

or something similar.

Does your hosting company support php? It's not clear from your message if they do or not. You must have php and cgi capability to use ezPublish.

Can you explain where you get URLs like "index?/etc"? I can't think of any configuration that gives you URLs like that.

David,

In an extremely rare event I agree with Frederik, the URL you are putting doesn't sound right even as an example.

"Was ment as an example. Actualy every page with an string like "index?/projekt/something/" will bring an Error 500."

What is the question mark ('?') doing in the example? Is that a problem with fonts?

Also the use of index ( by itself ) is incorrect, your URL should look something like this:

http://www.foo.com/index.php/page_name
or
http://www.foo.com/corporate/page_name

Where 'corporate' is the style you selected at installation.
