pHp mailing list problem,

[globalcashsite]

Guys

I installed built-in php mailing list from Fantastico at http://globalcashsite.com/mailinglist/ but this is giving error

Internal Server Error

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

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@globalcashsite.com 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.

Any idea how I can solve this problem, my site is working fine.

I usually receive 500 server error when there is some problem with the .htaccess file. If you could check the error log that may suggest where to look.

You are right, here is error

public_html/mailinglist/.htaccess: Invalid command 'php_flag', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

But I chekced there is no .htaccess file in main folder of mailing list, should I create one, if yes then what I should write in that?

If you don't see it via ftp software that does not mean that the file does not exist in the folder. Depending on the server setting it can be set to be invisible. If I were you I would download the installer package of the mailing list script and after deleting the php configuration related htaccess commands i would overwrite the current htaccess with that.

Hello,

You should uninstall it once, and install it again. May be you error will not come again.

I suggest installing xdebug (http://xdebug.org/)

You'll need to download the extension and configure the extension in your php.ini file.

What type of server are you running? Windows of Linux?

Windows
1) .htaccess will not work under windows
2) download php_xdebug-2.0.2-5.2.5.dll from xdebug.org
3) put the dll in your php extensions directory (assuming it's c:\php\ext... you'll need to check yourself)
4) add this to the top of your php script (your mail script)

ini_set ('display_errors', 'ON');
error_reporting (E_ALL);
ini_set ('xdebug.trace_format', '0');
ini_set ('xdebug.auto_trace', 'On');
ini_set ('xdebug.collect_params', '0');
ini_set ('xdebug.collect_includes', 'On');
ini_set ('xdebug.collect_return', 'On');
ini_set ('xdebug.collect_params', '0');
ini_set ('xdebug.trace_output_dir', '/tmp/trace');
ini_set ('xdebug.trace_output_name', 'xdebug.%c.%p');
ini_set ('xdebug.var_display_max_data', '16384');
ini_set ('xdebug.collect_vars', 'On');
xdebug_start_trace();

5) add these lines to your php.ini file

error_log = "c:\php\error.log"
zend_extension_ts="c:\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.0.2-5.2.5.dll"

Restart IIS

Start -> Run -> issreset /restart

or

Start -> Run -> net stop w3svc
Start -> Run -> net start w3svc

Visit your broken page and then look at the tmp folder and php folder for the error and trace logs.


Linux
1) download xdebug.so from xdebug.org
2) put it in your extensions directory (assuming it's "/usr/local/php/modules/")
3) add this to the top of your php script (your mail script)

ini_set ('display_errors', 'ON');
error_reporting (E_ALL);
ini_set ('xdebug.trace_format', '0');
ini_set ('xdebug.auto_trace', 'On');
ini_set ('xdebug.collect_params', '0');
ini_set ('xdebug.collect_includes', 'On');
ini_set ('xdebug.collect_return', 'On');
ini_set ('xdebug.collect_params', '0');
ini_set ('xdebug.trace_output_dir', '/usr/local/php/trace');
ini_set ('xdebug.trace_output_name', 'xdebug.%c.%p');
ini_set ('xdebug.var_display_max_data', '16384');
ini_set ('xdebug.collect_vars', 'On');
xdebug_start_trace();

4) add these lines to your php.ini file

error_log = "/usr/local/php/error.log"
zzend_extension="/usr/local/php/modules/xdebug.so"

Restart apache via SSH/telnet
