Internal Server Error

[james]

Hello everyone,

I am new to pw and like to try it on a shared hosting. The server has no domain pointing to but is reachable http://web92.login-48.hoststar.ch

Installation is done and the install.php says: ProcessWire requires PHP version 5.3.8 or newer. You are running PHP 5.2.17:

http://web92.login-48.hoststar.ch/install.php

The support of the hosting company proposed to ad this

Action php /cgi-php55/php

AddHandler php55 .php

to the top of my .htaccess file.

 

I tried all the hints in .htaccess against the 500 errors. None worked. I alwys get "Internal Server Error" as soon as I have the .access file in place. You may check http://web92.login-48.hoststar.ch/phpinfo.php

 

As I know my hoster is a reseller of Hetzner Germany.

 

Is there a way to to use this server for my first steps?

 

Your help is verry appreciated!

james

Hi James - welcome to PW, and to the forums.

Have you perhaps had a look at this support article: https://www.hoststar.ch/en/node/2613 ?

Hi, have you tried this? In the PW htaccess at the bottom, there are 2 rules. Try to comment out the one and comment the other.

 # -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # Pass control to ProcessWire if all the above directives allow us to this point.

  # For regular VirtualHosts (most installs)

  # -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?it=$1 [L,QSA]

 

  # -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # 500 NOTE: If using VirtualDocumentRoot: comment out the one above and use this one instead.

  # -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?it=$1 [L,QSA]

Your host is serving php 5.2.17, go into your cpanel and select php 5.4.xx or up.

Thanks Mike for your fast help. Good hint!

I tried with no success ticking the PHP 5.5 / 5.6. It does not change anything. A .htaccess file with just this:

Action php /cgi-php55/php

AddHandler php55 .php

show up as: "PHP version 5.5.19" with the install.php

 

Any idea what to try next?

Thanks!

yes, this I tried before I asked here.

The installer says there's another htaccess file there - just rename it to something else (like old.htaccess) and refresh the installer. You should be good to go.

I ask the support of the hosting company. And post the result. Maybe somebody else is using hoststar.ch with pw.

Thank you for your help.

as soon as the pw .htaccess is in place, I get the "internal server error". I will ask the hoster for help how to get this running. And post back. Thanks

I installed pw at another hosting cyon.ch. It worked like a charm! Finally I can have my hands on. Thanks for your help!
