Error 500 and DNS

[dest581]

Two questions

1) I'm getting a 500 error with any sort of PHP scripting. I'm a new account on the sustained server, might that have something to do with it?

2) What are the DNS servers, again? I couldn't find it (search doesn't like 3-letter words)

500 error is permissions. Check that the files you have uploaded have suitable permissions - e.g 644 or similar. A quick google for file permissions should give you an article on how they work.

DNS servers are simply what map your domain name i.e. example .com to a machine-understandable number format (i.p adress) e.g. 1.2.3.4 via a 'name-server' which holds many adresses and ip adresses for it's servers.
They simply make remembering sites much easier.

Hope this helps

If you're looking for the nameservers they're ns1.x10hosting.com and ns2.x10hosting.com

Otherwise Lambada is correct and your permissions probably need to be checked.

index.php is 777 right now (I just changed it). Not working

 

[Corey]

It can't be 777, it has to be 755 or below. I changed it to 755 for you and it works.

Thanks, Corey!

Any idea why file creation doesn't default to a webpage-friendly permissions?

I'm having to go through every single directory to chmod everything.
