Site has been functioning well for months and then one day out of nowhere (nothing has been changed, neither installed both on our (client-side) and server-side by the hosting company) we get 500 Internal server error on our frontpage.

After couple minutes we found out that all the other pages and section on the joomla are working, except the main page.

We have checked file permissions, htaccess, configuration php and mysql on server and still nothing.

Anyone have any solutions how can we fix this problem? :eek:

Contact your host. It's quite possible they changed something...

The hosting is MediaTemple and they say that they have not changed anything. Joomla is working fine in other directories.

Hi there,

I've just bug-tracked that problem and it turns out it was permissions on components and admin>components This was only in my case though so good luck with it. Try turning them to 755 - In my case it wouldn't load the administrator/index.php file

If you are using the SobiLatest module, make sure of the permissions...I ran into this recently on a development vs. live system.

I found something on this matter on powweb forums:

So, this error:

The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
The script had an error or it did not produce any output. If there was an error, you should be able to see it in the error log.

is produced by not configured CGI.

Then, first enable CGI, and in PHP.ini add your session path
Edit your php.ini

session path would be: Path to your Web document root (plus cgi-bin/tmp): /home/users/web/XXX/pow.XXXXXXXXXX/htdocs/cgi-bin/tmp

Then, wait until 6PM or 9 Am for the server to refresh.

Then you can proceed with your CMS, or Joomla installation.

I solved it!
Apply 755 permissions on these files:

1. index.php
2. administrator/index.php and administrator/index2.php

that should work!

I suggest chmod 444 but if it is important for you to give execute permissions, use chmod 555. This is important from a security perspective (Refer Iframe injection).

simnav, for Refer Iframe injection chmod should be 777. Isn't it?
