as I previously noted, my host planned to moved me from the apache version to the cgi version on May 12 for PHP.

Now I get the following error when I go to my forum page:

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

Here is what the host said when I notified them of the problem

Hello,

Please go through your forum and verify that there are no php variables in the .htaccess file in the forum folder or public_html. Check the permissions on all your files and folders there and make sure they are set to 755 or below. I see your forum folder itself is set to 777 and must be changed.

there is an .htaccess file in the forum directory. I assume it comes as part of FUDForum since it was created at the same time as other FUDForum files in the forum directory and it is like all other FUDForum files in that I can never edit/view/chmod/etc them.

My only access is thru my FTP program. As per the instructions from the host, I did chmod the forum to 755. It shows that anyway in my FTP program. Of course, I cannot do anything else with the FUDForum files/folders using FTP.

What do I do now?

Create a small PHP script <?php unlink(".htaccess"); ?> or ask your ISP to remove that file.

What are the permissions of the index.php? It is possible the webserver has no access rights to it.

Ask your host to:

chown -r your_user:your_group *

inside the forum directory.

Looks like only SOME files were chowned, ALL forum files must be chowned. This means both the web and the data directories of the forum.

Hi,

I did some research and had to chown /home/indexu2/FUDforum above the WWW directory.

The forum now works!! Enjoy

well, we are getting closer. I can now see my forums and browse them.

But when I sign in as the admin and click the Admin Control Panel, I get the following error msg

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /forum/adm/admglobal.php on this server.

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

Additionally, only about half the graphics are there and none of the avatars.

Make sure that all forum files are owned by your user/group.

You need to ask your hosting provider to do this for you.

the latest response from the host ( which BTW is Lunarpages.com ):

Hello,

I noticed some of your folders were chmodded to 777. Since we are running suPHP on aquarius, this is not necessary, nor will it work. I have changed quite a few of the permissions to 755 (the highest permission that will work).

With permissions set to 755, the directories will still be writable by your php scripts, as the php scripts are running under your user (as you, essentially) rather than as the web server user.

If there are any other files/folders that are left with permission set at 777, change them to 755. If this does not resolve the issue please let us know.

I did chmod the adm folder to 755 and then I was able to get to the admin page.

I decided to unlock the files. I was able to do that.

But when I went to forum, I got:

Quote:

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

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

prior to the admin unlocking the files the error log had been showing:

Quote:

(13)Permission denied: file permissions deny server access: /home/acct/public_html/forum/adm/adm.css

after unlocking the files, the error log shows in part:

Quote:

Premature end of script headers: /home/acct/public_html/forum/adm/admlock.php
Premature end of script headers: /home/acct/public_html/forum/index.php
Premature end of script headers: /home/acct/public_html/forum/adm/admglobal.php

Check and see if the admin directory has a .htaccess file in it.
