Hi!

I have recently reinstalled XAMPP after reformatting my computer, so a clean install.
I have not changed anything, and everything works fine untill I want to access my own site. Then I get an Error 500.
An example path:

Code: Select all

http://localhost/mysite/

Edit: yes, the folder is inside the folder "htdocs"
the first page of the site is named index.php

This is the error I get:

Code: Select all

Server error!

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 500
localhost
06/22/06 16:26:44
Apache/2.2.2 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.2 OpenSSL/0.9.8b mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.1.4

I'm running the latest version of XAMPP on Windows XP Pro SP2.
The previous version I had of XAMPP never had any problems.

Any ideas on what could be wrong?
Thanks...

- running all DEMOs and LINKs in the Wellcomescreen of XAMPP ??

- is your "index.php" realy an PHPcodet file ?

everything of XAMPP itself is running like it should
index.php has both standard HTML and PHP coded into it...

Then I get an Error 500.

Please, first look in your "error.log" and then ask us a question...

Hey!
Thanks for the tip!!
I checked out the file and it turns out I was using the wrong .htaccess files.
It's all working now.

Thanks again!

Cheers,
Bert
