Need help. HTML Error 500 on registration. Happy to pay for help

[jnrdavo]

Hi guys,

I've got Error 500 when new users are trying to register, obviously causing me huge problems.

Does anybody know of a fix? I'm running 4.2.5. I think it happened when I did the previous update a few weeks ago.

I'm happy to pay for help on the solution.

Exact error:

When you click on the Register button (in IE, chrome etc), you get the following:

http://www.ozaudi.com/forums/register.php?


The website cannot display the page

HTTP 500

Most likely causes:
?The website is under maintenance.
?The website has a programming error.


What you can try:


Refresh the page.
Go back to the previous page.

Have you looked at the error logs of your webserver/PHP for a more detailed error description?
What PHP version are you running?

thanks guys.

I'm not that good on linux/centos (ok, crap on it), but ok on windows..

Not sure how to check the logs.. but I'll give it a go.

I actually turned off all plugins on one of the sites, but still the same problem.

php info here..

You can also check the last few lines of the error_log file in the root of your forum directory through a FTP client such as FileZilla, that should be a bit easier for you.

ok, thanks, will check the error log.. It's 22.5GB, so I might rename and try with a fresh one..

Ok, log has the following:

I've checked online and there is this link:

https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum/vbulletin-4/vbulletin-4-questions-problems-and-troubleshooting/4319019-vb4-2-database-error

I've checked my config file, and it's using mysqli, not mysql...

Looks like a plugin/hook is doing that. Try disabling your plugins/hooks one by one until the error disappears. Alternatively, look for a plugin that makes use of the global_start hook and disable that plugin.

I disabled them all, no luck. I actually run another site with same setup, and disabled all those plugins, and that is still not working also.



I upgraded one of my sites to VB5, that one works now to allow login..

ok, another update.

Even after disabling all plugins, it still wouldn't work.

I was running a plugin called FunCaptcha... so I uninstalled this, and now that test site is working!
Will try this on other sites (and check if a later version is available). I'm using 1.2.1

ok, all good guys..

It's always bloody plugs-ins... right :-)

Will teach me to make sure that I have the latest installed after a refresh of vb4...

Many, many thanks again.
