500 Error after uploading BuddyPress 1.0.2

    @justinbrock

    I am getting a server error 500 every time I try to upload BuddyPress 1.0.2.

    I uploaded buddypress 1.0.2 to the plugins folder – result = error 500

    I installed buddypress 1.0.2 from the plugins panel – result = error 500

    This is on a fresh WordPress mu 2.7.1 installation.

    What am i doing wrong?

    Possible that the themes are missing or deactivated somehow. Are you able to access the admin area? If so, can you make sure you have a member theme active and in the correct location? Same with your home theme?

    Step 1 – Download latest version of WordPress MU (2.7.1)

    Step 2 – install on server and verify it is working

    Step 3 – Download latest version of BuddyPress (1.0.2)

    Step 4 – copy to the plugins directory

    Result

    Error 500 on all pages

    Yeah, Jeremiah. That’s how it happens.

    John, WordPress MU (2.7.1) is working fine. It’s when I upload BuddyPress (1.0.2) that i get the error. My admin panel, the public blog, everything becomes Error 500 in the browser once I upload the files.

    I can still see everything fine in the ftp explorer [Filezilla]

    I tried downloading wpmu 2.7.0 and bp 1.0.1 – only the budypress activation returns error 500 in this case, the rest of the site continues to function.

    Okay, why don’t both of you go through this list to see if there are other commonalities:

    Please post your response to those questions here.

    Who is your web host? My next guess is this is an out-of-memory situation. Others have encountered this with hosts like 1and1 and GoDaddy, and have fixed it by increasing the amount of memory available in their php.ini files.

    Do a search through the forums and see if you can find anything relevant that helps out. If not report back.

    1. Which version of WPMU are you running? 2.7.1

    2. Did you install WPMU as a directory or subdomain install? Installed it into a subdomain, but new blogs will appear as directories I think.

    3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory? It’s in the root of the subdomain.

    4. Did you upgraded from a previous version of WPMU? If so, from which version? no

    5. Was WPMU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress? yes

    6. Which version of BuddyPress (BP) are you running? Attempting to install 1.0.2

    7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version? no

    8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? no

    9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes? standard

    10. Have you modified the core files in any way? no

    11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php? no

    12. If running bbPress, which version? none. Do I need bbPress?

    13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files. not quite sure how to get to these.

    My host is 1and1.

    http://community.redeemerjackson.com/ – here’s the site without the BuddyPress files uploaded.

    Also, tried uploading a php.ini file in wp-admin that contained:

    memory=20MB

    upload_max_filesize = 8M

    Same error.

    With what you are experiencing, I would image that there is useful information in your server’s log files. How do you locate the log files?

    This is a very old article, but perhaps still applies to 1and1:

    http://www.devchunks.com/1and1/1and1-hosting-server-logs/

    If that does not help, contact them and ask for assistance in locating your log files.

    @justinbrock

    I can get to the log files. What am i looking for?

    Thanks for your help, by the way.

    You need to look at the apache_error_log. Or whatever 1and1 has decided to call the Apache log file.

    You do not need to paste the entire contents of that log file in a post. Since this is a new install, what you should do is clear out the log file then recreate the issue. Then go back to the log file and see what errors are reported. List those errors, just one copy of each unique error, here.

    @justinbrock

    Will the line contain the word ‘error’?


    Justin Brock

    @justinbrock

    As far as files go, I just have access logs, mail logs and ftp logs.


    Jeff Sayre

    @jeffsayre

    You’ll need to contact 1and1 and have them help you out. I assume, then, that you are on a shared server?

    Called 1and1. We changed to php5 and now it’s working.


    John James Jacoby

    @johnjamesjacoby

    Damn I was in a meeting and I missed all this fury, but the PHP version was my next suggestion.

    1and1 people can do this by adding this line to their .htaccess file. (This has also been covered before.)

    AddType x-mapp-php5 .php


    Justin Brock

    @justinbrock

    Perhaps that should be modified in the BuddyPress requirements. I prefer php5, but WordPress Mu suggests lower.
