500 internal server error on devel *nix box

Post by SuperUserGuy »

Hello there,

Let me say this to begin with. I am not a developer. I am a sys admin. I have been tasked with getting an internally developed cms working on our linux development box. I have configured the config.inc.php file properly with the database and password that it needs however I keep getting a 500 internal server error when navigating to the site. I have even tried with 777 file permissions. I have a moodle instance running on the same server with no issues at all. Any ideas? much help would be appreciated as I have been at this for some time.

No hints in your error log? Malformed .htaccess files seem to be a pretty common culprit.
