Dolphin 6.1 - 500 Internal server error -FIXED!!!

lazerup posted 20th of May 2008 in Community Voice. 18 comments.

So you've just installed the new dolphin and now your getting a "500 internal server error....etc" ???

The fix is this, open up the .htaccess file in your install root then delete the second line  " php_flag register_globals Off " then save and close.

Then go to - http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/php-src/php.ini-dist - and download the latest default php.ini file. Open it up and search for - " register_globals " - its on by default and change it to " off ". Then save and upload the php.ini file to your installation root and wulla all fixed !!! : )

1. As a start make sure the .htaccess file is correct. (see above) delete the whole line, save and upload. You may need to clear cache, history etc...

php.ini - you may or may not, need to use a default php.ini file. What your really interested in is the "register_globals on/off" this needs to be in both present and switched off.

create a file called phpinfo.php, and add the following code, to check your php config. upload to root directory and run.

<?php
// Display everything see more (this is the default)
phpinfo ();
?>

2. make sure you unzip and upload the package locally and then upload it. Dont just upload the zip and decompress. This can affect the chmod of the files (ones that you wont be modifying) :)

3. if you have any php files chmodded to 777 or 666 (see 2.), it will cause the "server error"
Hope this helps :)

When installing Dolphin 6.1.4 you can temporarily don't (delete) using .htaccess (root & install folder)

After finished.. you can used again
Maybe with remove the 1st line "Options -MultiViews"

1st line was the issue in my case, God bless you.

Hi, people check the link once again! http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/php-src/php.ini-dist
downloaded php.ini saw there's no such thing as " register_globals ".
Is this blog entry the official boonex reply to 500 error?

Hi guys,

First of all I'm sorry about my English. I'm Brazilian.

Reading the forum I noticed many other users getting the same error. I already did all the changes into PHP.ini and .HTACCESS but I'm still getting an error into Dolphin installation (500 Server Internal Error).
Please, can someone help me?
I am getting this error when:
*trying to access forums(/orca) from top page.
*trying to access Orca Forum and Ray Suite links from admin panel under the "Plugins" menu.

Every requirements met on the server side.
register_globals is OFF
fixed the 2nd line in the .htaccess file but nothing is working.

Also tried all php handlers DSO, CGI and suPHP, result is same.

Server is Centos 5.3, Apache 2.2 with PHP 5.2.11 installed.

Hi All,

I'm running Windows 2008 server. I followed all the instructions up until the install launch and I'm getting this 500 internal error. I'm running php 5.3.0 for windows, iis 7 with fastCGI and MySql. I really want to purchase a commercial license for this but if it's this difficult to get going I might reconsider. I really like what boonex offers so I would like to get it going. If someone can please help I greatly appreciate it...
