Error 500 approx every 1 min. in 5?
Hi,

This may have been covered before but when I try to search for posts with the words 'internal server error' the list is daunting! So...

The problem is approximately every 1 minutes in 5, Links SQL suddenly comes up with an error 500 (internal server error). When I click refresh the error is still there. This happens in both the admin and the page.cgi files. After approx 1 min. all is working fine again and then 5 mins done the line - same problem all over again?

Any one have any suggestions?

Many Thanks

Alex

Does your error log say anything? Try adding this to the top of the page.cgi script;

use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

...put it under;

use strict;

This won't guarantee an error message, but if there is one, it should hopefully show it on the browser page, instead of only in the error log.

Most likely has to do with your hosting situation -- are you on a virtual host?

500 errors are bad headers, bad executables, and such.

If you uploaded, and installed links properly, and it sounds like you have, it's most likely your server. It's over loaded, it's configured wrong, your connection to it is bad, etc.

The transient nature of the problem also suggests a server-side problem.

If it was Links, it wouldn't run _any_ time.

Unless it was plugin related.

Thanks for your replies. I suspected it may be a server-side issue.

I am looking into finding a new host in the UK at the moment. I only have a budget of £250 pa so I don't really think I can afford a dedicated server though. I think I need to find a better host than CIHOST in the USA which I am currently using at the moment. Does any one have any UK recommendations? Also, can you get speedyCGI setup on virtual hosting?

Regards

Alex
