phpnuke forum problem

[Drezek]

okay i tired install nuke and activated the forum module but when i click on forums in the modules administation i get a http 500 error i tried installing it on another computer but i get the same problem one vista and the other xp it has to be something with xampp i dont know what to do it is getting very frustrating

...it has to be something with xampp...

More likely to be something in PHP-Nuke or the Forum module (.htaccess file perhaps).

Server 500 errors should be investigated using the server's error log file:
xampp\apache\logs\error.log

There is a process of elimination when you are looking for a particular error in a large error.log file like the one you posted.

You can eliminate all [notice] entries - not an error.
Also eliminate [warn] entries - not an error.
Eliminate all file not found or file does not exist [error] entries - they are 404 errors

What are we left with?

Only 1 entry and that is a 500 error.

when i click on forums in the modules administation i get a http 500 error

Code: Select all

Can you see the link from the error message you posted in the above quote to the error log file entry?
C:/xampp/htdocs/fa/admin

Look in that folder for a .htaccess file and rename or move it out of the folder and see if you still get the error 500 message but remember to clear your browser's cache.

If you don't get the error 500 message after renaming or removing the .htaccess file then investigate the contents of the .htaccess file which would have been put in the above folder when you installed PHP-Nuke - you should investigate the .htaccess file no matter what the outcome is when you rename or remove it.



Your other issues posted after this reply refers to another version of PHP-Nuke and is not included in this reply.
