Getting 500 Internal Server Errors?
January 23rd, 2010
By design, CGI has a few simple security features built into it. If a file is breaking these rules, you will receive a 500 Internal Server Error. Some examples of an Internal Server Error are as follows.
1. If a file or directory is writable by others, it will produce an error since this would be an insecure execution of the file.
2. PHP values in your htaccess files are not supported, you must put your custom PHP settings in a php.ini file, or else you will receive an error.
3. If your account is using over 25 processes, 100MB or more per PHP thread, or exceeds a 30 second execution time, you will receive an Internal Server Error.
