Topic: index.php won't load (clean install / 500 error)

Hello all

I'm moving a PunBB site from one host to another .. both PunBB 1.2.14 and both PHP 4.4.4 - but, for some reason, on the new site, the index page just won't load .. it hangs for ages and then gives a 500 internal server error.

I've checked permissions and things like memory_limit in php.ini (both 128M) and post_max_size (both 60M).

I'd be grateful if anyone could point out any other PHP config values I should check for ..

Thank you,

Simon

Is it just index.php or other pages too?
Can you check your error_log and see what the error is?

Hi

Thanks for the reply. Other pages .. or some of them .. load fine .. but index.php (and search.php) don't.

I don't have immediate access to error logs .. but I will in an hour or so ..

Re: index.php won't load (clean install / 500 error)

I now have access to error logs.

These are the main errors listed:

Directory index forbidden by rule: /home/sites/alfonsorecords.co.uk/public_html/forum/include/
Segmentation Fault in 23620, waiting for debugger
Premature end of script headers: index.php
Cannot get media type from 'cgi-script'

I'm not quite sure what any of them mean .. any clues much appreciated.

Thanks,

Simon

I believe it's a server issue, and from my Googling I would guess it has something to do with Zend Optimizer tongue
Talk to your host smile
