[Solved] PHP Not Supported in Subdirectories?

[leranjun]

Hi,

When I tried to open a PHP file in a subdirectory of my main website, the website encountered a 500 error (screenshot attached below).

Is PHP not supported in subdirectories?

Did you set permission to 644 for files and 755 for folders?

[leranjun]

Yes, everything is 755.

I can view the image file and the html file, but not PHP.

[Flaze]

Not everything. Only folders need to have 755 permission. Files should be set to 644.

Not everything. Only folders need to have 755 permission. Files should be set to 644.

I was too thinking about that.

[leranjun]

Sorry for the confusion… The folder is 755, and the files are 644.

Do you have .htaccess file inside the subdirectory? If so, try renaming them.

[leranjun]

No, there is only .htaccess file in the main folder, not the subdirectory.

[Flaze]

Try renaming that file. If that doesn't work, I'm escalating this.

[leranjun]

The thing is, there was no .htaccess by default in the main directory. I just created it for SSL certificate.

This problem was there even before I create that file.

What URL were you trying to access?

https://cistea.ga/beta

Wait… I think it is not a PHP problem…

So basically, in my subdirectory "beta" I tried to connect to a MySQL database using mysqli, and it showed me the 500 error.

Now I copied the files from the subdirectory to the main folder, it showed me the error when I tried to visit the main page.

I think there's something wrong with handling SQL.

I see. I'll let root admins figure this out.

It's working now. You had folder permissions 775 instead of 755.
