[Solved] 500 Internal Server Error

[dalrae]

Hi, I just switched from 000webhost to HelioHost, so I downloaded all content from the file manager their and uploaded it to heliohost, however I'm unable to view any directories in my site.

The site is "dalrae.heliohost.org"

All my php file permission are 644, my folder permissions are 755, my public_html folder is 755, and my "www" folder is 777.

Thanks for any help!

Try renaming or deleting your .htaccess file. If that fixes the 500 error it will help narrow down whether the syntax of your .htaccess is correct.

Interesting... That fixed it. My .htaccess is very simple, I don't see why it's syntax is incorrect:

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: I figured this out. Apparently HelioHost doesn't allow overriding of php.ini, so I can't use the "php_value" or "php_flag" options

Display errors is already enabled on all versions of php on all servers so that line is pointless anyways, but if you want to disable errors you can do

<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 0);

To prepend a file to your php script you can just do

<?php
require "required.html";

In my opinion it's better technique to include/require files like that in your code rather than your .htaccess because you might want to edit your php headers, and you can't do that once something has already been echoed.

Oh thanks for letting me know that.

I don't know why I added that line to my .htaccess, but I'd assume 000webhostapp disabled php errors by default.

PHP display_errors is disabled by default on a new PHP installation because it can sometimes be a security vulnerability to display errors on your page for any visitor to see, but HelioHost is used primarily by people who are still learning, so it's nicer to see an error on your page rather than just a blank white browser window with no indication what went wrong. Hosting a new site for a beginner can be a fairly daunting endeavor so we like to be as newbie friendly as possible to keep people from getting discouraged and giving up. For the more advanced users who know to look in the error_log file, or users who are hosting production sites that are being viewed by thousands instead of just themselves we recommend turning display_errors off.
