Argh!!! PHP errors on my site. Please help.

[curt_grymala]

I posted this question on an HTML help forum, but most of the experts only frequent the forums once or twice a day, so I thought I would post it here, too, to see if any of the web experts here may be able to help:

I was trying to install a new PHP script on my server, and couldn't get it working the way I wanted, so I started messing with it a little bit.
Then, when I went to view it, I got a 500 Internal Server Error. So, I removed the whole thing from my server and started over again from scratch. Unfortunately, I still got a 500 error.
So, I removed it from my server again, and then went to my front page (which is a php file), and got a 500 error on it, too. Then, I checked all of the other php files on my server, and found that I am getting the same error on all of them.
I checked my error log, and found this:

[Sat Jul 24 13:11:04 2004] [error] [client 65.133.101.58] Premature end of script headers: /home/virtual/site32/fst/var/www/interpreters/php-script

Does anybody know what happened, and how I fix it?

check syntax. be more helpful if u posted the source code u edited.

Well, I removed everything I edited. Unless the script that I uploaded somehow edited my "php-script" interpreter, none of the offending code should be left on the server.

If you need to know, the PHP script I was trying to use was:

All I edited was a few of the file paths, because I decided to place the script in my root directory, instead of placing it within a special directory called "phpwebfilemgr". I did this, because I wanted to see if it was possible to allow people to upload files directly to my site. I also remarked out the "Delete" button, and tried to remark it out from the "_scn_filemanager.php" file as well. That file looks like:

I tried remarking it out with "//" first, and that is when I started getting the error.

Like I said, though, something must have happened to my actual interpreter, because none of the php scripts on my server will execute properly now. I have three different php things that I am trying to use on my server. They are:

a simple php file that only includes the following code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Mods of Rage News</TITLE>
<META name="description" content="">
<META name="keywords" content="">
<META name="generator" content="CuteHTML">

</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#025E72" TEXT="#FFFFFF" LINK="#FFFFFF" VLINK="#800080" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">

<?php
include("BORTop.html");
?>

<h2 align="center"><font color="#7DE7FC">Mods Of Rage</font></h2>

</HTML>

a news script called "trgnews", and a phpbb forum. All of them return 500 Internal Server Errors. However, none of my shtml files return those errors.

In case you need to know, this is what the file "php-script" looks like:

#!/bin/bash
export SCRIPT_NAME=${PATH_TRANSLATED##${DOCUMENT_ROOT}}
export SCRIPT_FILENAME=$PATH_TRANSLATED
/usr/bin/php

The only other thing I did was that I chmod'd everything on my server to 777, because I was trying to get the upload script to work. Is it possible that chmod'ing everything might have caused the problem?

[ninja]

It shouldnt have affected it at all, if i recall 777 is RWE for everyone, so it should work. im to lazy to debug all that source, but a few questions:

does this script use any database's or files to save information to?
are all the path's for everything set correctly?
is the php interpreter working properly, you can check this by making a quick php display browser info script and uploading it...

[curt_grymala]

That's the thing. I don't think the interpreter's working properly, but I can't figure out what could have happened to it that would have made it quit working. It was working just fine this morning, and then it quit working. It just so happens that I was working on a PHP script at the time, but I honestly don't know whether that caused it, or whether it's all a big coincidence.

[ninja]

hmmm, try to run the code below and see if it works:

<?php
# initialize sessions
session_start();

# set session variable to auto-increment
$_SESSION['VAR'] += 1;
echo "<p>If the following number increases everytime you hit the Refresh button, session
variables are working:",$_SESSION['VAR'],"</p>";

if (isset($_ENV["_FCGI_MUTEX_"])) echo "<p>FastCGI Enabled</p>";
phpinfo();

?>

not that great of a script, but it will at least tell you if the interpreter is doing basic commands.

[curt_grymala]

I get the exact same 500 Error when I try to run that script.

However - are you ready for the weird part? Here it is:

That script returns the 500 Error when I try to use it on the domain in question. However, the script works just fine on the root domain (the one I am having trouble with is a subdomain). In other words, I am getting 500 errors on http://bor.dcstuff.thefreeserver.net/ but the script works just fine on http://dcstuff.thefreeserver.net/

You can check it out by going to: http://bor.dcstuff.thefreeserver.net/Test.php and http://dcstuff.thefreeserver.net/Test.php

[toastman]

Uhmmmm..... stupid suggestion follows........

Since the script works fine with the root domain but not the subdomain, couldn't you just have the 'Mods of Rage' site be http://dcstuff.thefreeserver.net/bor ? and just tiptoe around the problem for now?

Thanks for the suggestion Toastman. Unfortunately, while that may work (if I set up an automatic re-direct from our original index page, which is what most people are linking to), it still wouldn't solve the issue with our phpbb forums. i just installed phpbb forums on that subdomain a few days ago, and put quite a bit of work into getting them up and running, so i don't really want to have to uninstall and re-install them somewhere else.

@btm4k - thanks for the link. I tried them, but I'm not sure I put them in the right place. I put them up there in place of the file "php-script" (which is the one that was returning the error). That didn't change anything. I also noticed that there is a file called "php" in my /usr/bin/ directory, but it is 2.6 megs, so I don't really feel like checking it out if I don't have to (I'm not even sure I have the option to do so).

I'll keep plugging away at it, trying to figure it out. I posted about it in the official support forums for the server, too, but I don't think anybody ever actually gets a real response in those forums.

[curt_grymala]

I just found this info on the PHP web site:

It appears that the file() function causes file access problems for perl cgi scripts accessing the same files. I am using Perl v5.6.0 in linux with PHP/4.0.4pl1. After running a php app using the file() function, any perl cgi trying to access the same file randomly dies returning an internal server error: premature end of script headers.

The simple fix is to use fopen(), fgets() and fclose() instead of file().

Does that mean anything to me? I apologize, but I'm pretty stupid when it comes to PHP, so I don't know if that means I should just run a quick script that uses one of those functions, or what.

I haven't read through all of the PHP script that went with that File Upload script, but I would guess that it probably used the file() command somewhere.

[btm4k]

Do a rearch for "php.ini" (its even called that on unix). This is the file that tells PHP how compile things. Often times I found that there was nothing wrong with my scripts, but the php.ini was wacked. Its likely that your strange error is occuring because something changed in the php.ini (although I wouldnt know how that would happen). Anyway, thats my suggestion.

[butters]

Did you chmod every file or just the directory? If the php script is world writeable Apache (assuming that is what you are using) will not execute it, at least by default. I don't know enough about Apache to tell you how to fix it, but you might try your scripts in another directory that is not world writeable.

[curt_grymala]

Argh. Now, without me messing with anything, the php on our root domain has quit working. I'm getting the same 500 Error on http://dcstuff.thefreeserver.net/Test.php as I am getting on http://bor.dcstuff.thefreeserver.net/Test.php
This really sucks. I have posted in the official support forums for my host, but gotten no response. Damn.
