No problem, my site is http://www.audioscribbler.co.uk

I’m not surprised it’s a bit boggle, I kind of stumble through ‘coding’ at the best of times. Looks absolutely fine in all other browsers I’ve tried so far though.

Hello. When you say full width do you mean fixed width? And how did you do it please?

I’ve installed the template pack which has activated. When visiting the settings screen for the plugin, I’m presented with this error at the bottom:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_core_is_multisite() in /home/audioscr/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bp-template-pack/bp-template-pack.php on line 188

Will this hamper anything do you think?

Just to clarify… I see the numerical pages you’ve listed.. but I’m not sure which pages they relate to, should it be obvious?

Well, I solved it. How? Started up a new hosting account with United Hosting. The exact same package. Guess I must’ve been on an old server, or the old Ensim control panel couldn’t handle it. I’m not bothered either way, I’m up and running

I’d be quite interested in hearing opinions on my next proposed step to resolve this.

I’m currently building a website for a friend who is on United Hosting’s most basic 200mb webspace package. Out of curiosity, I installed Buddypress. It worked. Immediately.

So, I had the little idea of registering for a brand new, basic hosting package for one month (£5 to get this sorted is perfectly acceptable I’d say) where I will install Buddypress on it and get it configured.

I could then import the database tables of my other wordpress install on my other hosting package and go from there, importing themes/plugins etc back bit by bit being very careful as to avoid getting the internal server error again.

I cuold then cancel the old hosting account and stick with the new one, upgrading it to the hosting package I’m currently on. Is it hard to import and export a rather large WP databse with other 2400 articles in it?

Is this solution advised? I can’t think of anything else.. nothing as immediate, anyway.

That said, if it’s something in my WordPress database causing the internal server error, I guess I’m as good as screwed.

WordPress was indeed working fine – I’ve never had a problem with it until trying to install BP. As soon as the buddypress folder is deleted, access to my site is restored. If the buddypress folder is there and *activated*, I cannot access any of my site. If I does the same on a fresh install of MU, then you’d assume the problem lies with something to do with the hosting, the server, or htaccess, right?

WordPress – 2.9.2

BP – 1.2.2.1

Edit: I have my access and error logs here. Is it safe to publish a link them on here or is that a bad idea?

I’m opening my FTP prog (filezilla) and dropping the ‘buddypress’ folder into my plugins folder. I then go into the plugins menu in the dashboard and click on activate which prompts the server error.

[Anonymous User 1502623]

Ok, I’ve deleted all of the plugins folder and all of the themes folder (barring default – I backed these up too). I then uploaded BP and activated – exactly the same ISE 500 as before. I forgot to mention that I did actually install MU, out of curiosity, on my filespace yesterday and tried this exact same procedure and it gave the same results. So it would appear it’s doing the same with bare bones.

Just got the following response:

Php version in the server is 5.2.8.

If you need us to make any changes at the serverside / in php settings etc, please feel free to ask.

Hello Jeff, I have just uploaded buddypress and uploaded the default wordpress .htaccess into my public_html folder. I then deactivated all of my plugins and solely activated buddypress. I immediately got the internal server 500 error, so I have just contacted my host to ask if I’m running PHP4 or 5.

[Anonymous User 1502623]

Thanks for all of the suggestions so far. Unfortunately, 20mb is accurate; I’ve ‘got by’ on a minimal amount of space for a fair while now and I suspected that it was far, far from ideal. I assumed UH would be a fairly larger sized host.. shows how little I know..! They do have very good customer support and are very responsive to any issues I have, I would like to stick with them if their hosting will hold BP (even if I have to upgrade my package to buy more webspace). Is there anything I should ask them? They said they would be more than happy to tweak anything ‘serverside’ or alter anything to do with the php. I have also tried .htaccess in the public html folder, as to whether the .htaccess is correct is a different matter.

Joining new hosting and transferring my wordpress installation/database over sounds like a very sticky task and not one I’d be confident undertaking. I’d rather take suggestions onboard and see what I can do I think I’ll start with increasing filespace?

Edit: Just got this reply from my hosting.

Hello,

I could see the following error from the site error logs

---

[Thu Mar 11 20:19:50 2010] [error] [client 77.86.107.59] mod_rewrite: maximum number of internal redirects reached. Assuming configuration error. Use ‘RewriteOptions MaxRedirects’ to increase the limit if necessary., referrer: http://www.audioscribbler.co.uk/

Please check your redirect rules set in .htaccess file.

—

This is probably completely wrong, but I’m using this for .htaccess and the file is in cgi-bin

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

RewriteOptions MaxRedirects=200

# END WordPress

Can anyone shed any light about whether I’m heading in the right direction or am I completely barking up the wrong tree?
