500 Internal Server Error

[ACiD619]

Hey,

I always get an 500 Internal Server Error while trying to on on my modcp or admincp, they both are renamed for security reasons, I don't know why vb is sptting out the error, any ideas how to fix it please?

Thanks.

Were you getting the error before you renamed the directories? Did you change the names in the config.php file also? If you go to maintenance > diagnostics > suspect server modules (I think that is what it is called), do you get any modules listed (like mod_security)?

Hey Lynne,

Thanks for the fast reply But I am unable to go to the admincp/modcp. All it does is spit out a 500 error. And I never got this error before, Only when I changed servers.

Post your .htaccess.

Hey its:

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On

# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)
#RewriteBase /

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^\site\.tld
RewriteRule (.*) http://site.tld/$1 [QSA,L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

This looks to be a vbseo issue, post on their forums....

How can you say that, are you 100% sure?

Until you view your error_log for the web server, you will have a hard time guessing like everyone else will, if you have .htaccess files in either of those dir's, rename them and see if the error goes away.

If it does, post their contents here so we can see whats in them.

Its most likely NOT a vbseo issue.

Just a 99% chance/hunch..... vbseo seems to have many configuration issues in which people come here to troubleshoot for some reason.

Does your forum work? Do you have any .htaccess in admincp and modcp?
