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

Apache/2.2.8 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8g mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.2.5

Many scripts request to change permissions(chmod 777 etc.)
How I can do it?

No one script which request chmod change don't work with XAMPP for Windows on my XP.

Error 500

Read the "error.log" from Apache.

You cannot do it, as chmod is linux world, not windows.

Nobbie wrote:>Many scripts request to change permissions(chmod 777 etc.)

You cannot do it, as chmod is linux world, not windows.

So I can't to install php engines which require chmode change on xampp for win??

With Apache on Windows, just ignore the instructions about "chmod". The scripts should still work.

The error you got is probably due to something else.

If it's CGI, make sure you have the correct path in the #! line at the beginning of the files(s).

Error 500 could also result from a mistake in httpd.conf or in an .htaccess file.

P.S. See Wiedmann's post above.

Open .\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf file in your text editor and find this line:
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Remove the # from in front so it looks like this:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Save the file and then restart Apache (stop then start again) to have your edit recognized.

Now try your script again.


When ever you get a server error always check the server's error.log file first as it usually contains some very good clues to what caused the error, which makes it very easy to troubleshoot an issue - in your case this error is the clue to the problem

Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
