.php error?

[enigmaboosting]

I tried to load my site (running smf 2.0 rc3) today after the recent server restorations and I noticed that mysql database was gone and I didn't make a backup (that was totally my fault). so i made a backup of my public_html folder and deleted everything smf related in it so i could reinstall. But then I noticed that any .php file will not load (such as "mysite.com/hello.php" would result in 500 internal server error) but .html files load fine someone please help and thanks for any support

Good. A guinea pig.

You are on Boru. Could you give me the name of a php and a html file (I can see your domain name, you do not have to include that)?

I assume the .php file is 'vanilla' with no mySQL, so we can rule out that causing the problem.

Do you have a .htaccess file? Contents? Permissions on the .php file? Permissions on public_html ?

If you go to cPanel --> Logs --> Error Log ... does it list errors? (this is not the error_log that PHP puts in public_html ).

yes i have a .htaccess file with full permissions my public_html has full permissions and what do you mean by contents? the error log shows nothing it is blank and I made another .php file with full permissions that simply says hello it is at enigmaboosting.tk/test.php

1. I asked what the permissions were. If you set them to 0777, it might cause the error.
2. Same with .htaccess. Without seeing it, I cannot tell if that might be the the problem.
3. Apache usually prints errors to Error Log, which could help track down the problem. It was worth a shot.

ok is 0777 when you check all boxes? such as giving owner group and all users read write and execute abilities? cause that is how I have it set when I say full permissions I mean that I have all boxes checked and P.S. I have teamviewer

 

[descalzo]

group and world should not have write abilities. They should have everything else. Owner should have all.
