I installed xampp 7.0 on my laptop, Compaq, months ago and it ran well. I didn't use this laptop for months after xampp had been installed .

Now I work on this laptop and found this error message:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The testing script is simple:

Code: Select all

printf("kkkkk");

I deleted xampp 7.0 from C: and installed xampp 7.1, thought the latest version would eliminate all potential problems. But wouldn't work this way.

In brief, with vista, xampp worked fine before, it doesn't work now.

what should I do to solve this error?

Read the "error.log".

The problem is solved.

I went to apache/logs/error.txt and read:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Fri Jul 10 07:17:45 2009] [alert] [client 127.0.0.1] C:/xampp/htdocs/a125/.htaccess: Invalid command 'suPHP_ConfigPath', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Remove .htaccess from the directory. It works.

.htaccess was downloaded from the web server.

Thank you.
