500 Internal Server Error

Anon

Hello all,
I'm a relive newbie running PHP4 with Apache on a Windows 2000 server over a small LAN (I don't like the windows IIS junk.)

Anyway, I have several PHP/MySQL programs running, and most of them work fine. Most of programs I use are opensource downloads, and they're great. However, there are a couple program that I have that, when executing the authentication/login routines, I get a "Internal Server Error" and I can't figure out why. With one of the programs, the error occurs only when you have, from the login screen, entered a correct username and password.....if you login with a wrong password or user, it just redirects like it's supposed to.

I'm stumped, so if anyone can offer up some suggestions on what I might check in Apache (since I beleive it is related to Apache,) I would be most stoked.

Thanks a lot,

--P.

Its quite difficult to help you, since i dont know exactly when this error occurs.

Do the following: Look in your errorlogs (i don`t know where they are on Win2k, look for them).
Errorlogs are your friend. They tell you about the little problems your apache has.

Send me the last lines of your errorlog (The lines with the 500 in it). I'll see what i can do for you.

bye!

Thanx for your reply Snoopee.

The last line of my Apache error logs reads this:

[Fri Mar 08 10:51:52 2002] [error] [client 10.1.10.1] malformed header from script. Bad header=HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized: c:/php/php.exe
[Fri Mar 08 10:51:52 2002] [error] [client 10.1.10.1] PHP: Error parsing C:\WINNT\php.ini on line 2

My php.ini file, on line 2, reads this:
include_path= .(Currentdirectory)

Most all php programs work...it's just a few that don't. I suspect somthing with sessions, maybe, but I'm not sure.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!
