Newbie php help

[markwtaylor]

I downloaded a php application and am trying to get it to work, but cannot.

 

First, the background:

- I have a site that it working on this server, using the same MYSQL database as I will be using for this new application, so I know that MYSQL & php are both working fine

- I am trying to install this new application in a subdirectory so as to keep it separate from my current production site - so, the current site is under public and I am trying to run this one under public/rvinventory

 

I installed all of the new site files and directories into the public/rvinventory path and modified the MYSQL login credentials. 

The index.php is:

<?php

define("_LIBPATH","./lib/");
require_once _LIBPATH . "site.php";

$site = new CSite("./site.xml",true);
$site->Run();

?>

 

When I run this index, I get the HTTP 500 error.  I know that I have access to this, as I copied my production site index.html file to this directory and can access it.

 

What am I missing?  Can I not run this additional site from within my current site?

I get the HTTP 500 error.

Check your server error logs and check for any errors to find the cause.

^{Sorry, me=newbie.  This is a hosted server at EarthLink.  Can I access those logs?  Any suggestions on where they might reside?}

Should be able to access it from your sites control panel? If not contact your web host for support.

 

Alternatively try adding

ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

at the top of index.php (after the opening <?php tag) and to try an force the error message(s) to appear.

EXCELLENT!  This code to display errors gave me exactly what I needed.

 

Now to get the error(s) fixed!  

 

Thank you SO much, Ch0cu3r
