Internal Server Error

Davidc316

I've uploaded some files onto a secure server (SSL).

However, whenever I try to view a PHP page on the SSL, I get an Internal Server Error (i.e., white background with a big error message).

Does anyone know what's causing this problem?

Thanks

post some (relevant) code - and don't forget to use the PHP button above to highlight it

I appreciate the help. Here's an example of a file called header.php that I have uploaded to SSL. Prepare to be shocked at how simple this one is!

<?php
//do nothing
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title Here</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<link href="chandlercss.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

</head>
<body>
<table width="758" height="0" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#FFFFFF">
  <tr bordercolor="#CCCCCC" bgcolor="#006699"> 
    <td width="757" height="80" align="center" bgcolor="#006699"> 
      <table width="753" height="75" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
  <form name="form1" method="post" action="http://www.mywebaddress.co.uk/searchresults.php">    

  <tr> 
          <td width="48%"><img src="logo.gif" width="574" height="70"></td>
          <td width="52%" valign="bottom" background="research.gif"> 
            <div align="right"> 

          <input size=12 name="interest">
          <input class=formbutton type=submit value=Go name="submit222">









        </div></td>
    </tr></form>
  </table> </td>
  </tr>
  <tr bgcolor="#006699"> 
    <td align="left" valign="top" class="SMALLERWHITE"><img src="TRANS.gif" width="4" height="4">Address Here, Scotland, Glasgow GX 3JK Scotland<img src="TRANS.gif" width="14" height="4">Telephone: 
      0141 123 4567 <img src="TRANS.gif" width="14" height="4">Fax: 
      0141 123 4567</td>
  </tr>

As you can see... the only bit of PHP here is "//do nothing;"

So, maybe their SSL can't handle PHP. I don't know. This problem is killing me.

So, when I attempt to view that on Internet Explorer I get an Internal Server Error.

simple test... delete the PHP and try it 😉

great idea!

The thing is, the rest of the server (non secure) handles PHP fine.

Is it normal to have a situation whereby everything except SSL can handle PHP?

No idea... never tried setting up PHP via SSL.... its possible they just have misconfigured their server to handle SSL However... the internal error would make me think of some other error since PHP shouldnt ERROR because its not handled.... it should just show up as TXT or something or in the SRC of the html when you view it....
