Tried to make like berofe

# Bar use of SITE CHMOD by default
<Limit SITE_CHMOD>
DenyAll
</Limit>

Server still shows 500 internal server error need a FIX asap

It seems that 500 error is cause by .htaccess file in joomla instalaltions that I enabled.

here is the code, can someone tell me what causes this?

Also I found on google about thisproblem:
http://209.85.135.104/search?q=cach...nternal+Server+Error&hl=lt&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=lt

Is this a FIX? I need to be able to use FTP to chmod files and to use .htaccess files

 

did you try this?

Code:

##  Can be commented out if causes errors, see notes above.
Options +FollowSymLinks

You can also try to comment out line by line, and see what is causing the "500" error

 

Thanks, this solved the error

 

BTW could you explain why it caused an error?

Do I need to do like the site said:

Then, edit httpd.conf .. Find out the foll lines and mod -

<Directory “/www/vhosts/localhost”> #replace this with your dir name
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AllowOverride All #Added
</Directory>

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
# AllowOverride Limit #Old Value
AllowOverride All #Added
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Satisfy all
</Directory>

I understand that this is ISPconfig security feature that only server admin and reseller can add additional Apache directives into the site's virtual host container manually so that is why .htaccess is disabled?

 

If you have added AllowOverride All within your apache2.conf or httpd.conf, .htaccess files are allowed on your server in any website.
I think that the internal 500 error occured because you did not have AllowOverride All within your Apache configuration yet.

Personally, i think it is more safe to set AllowOverride None instead of AllowOverride All. AllowOverride None means that .htaccess files are not allowed, but if you use ISPConfig, you can add the following to the Apache directive field for your Joomla site within ISPConfig:

<Directory "/var/www/webX/web">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Note:
webX is the number of your web as defined ny ISPConfig.

 

I tried your code and got this error:

This website already has 1 domain(s). You cannot decrease the number of domains.

I entered:

<Directory "/var/www/web1/web">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

 

I think this error message has nothing to do with the lines you've added within the Apache directive field. I think you have to increase the value for "Maximum domains" on the basis tab of the site.

 

Hmm, on the basis tab, I have:

Max. User: 1
Max. Domain: 2

I created the user and site with admin account, I have no reseller.

 

It seems I found another bug:

I created a client with admin account then 1 website with 1 user I assigned the user to admin for the site. I set max domains to 1 so the user could not create second domain (actually that would work forreseller correct me if I'm wrog but the logic is the same. If I neet a user to have 1 domain I write 1)

Now the bug happens when you trie to add additional apache directives you get error like I said before, the ispconfig changes the max domain to 2 and you can save the site profile.

I consider this a bug if ispconfig needs to have max 2 to host 1 site I should not be able to create the site from start. Now I discoved this when tried to add additional apache directives.

BTW your code was right it worked i have no more 500 errors.

 

Yes I entered 1 but ISPconfig when I pasted the code to add apache directives increased it to 2. Now I wan't my user that has 1 website to have 1 website ONLY, but in website settings "Basis " tab I see max domain = 2

Doesn't that mean that user can have 2 domains?

 

Yes, the client have 2 domains already:
www.yourdomain.tld and a co-domain yourdomain.tld (without www), which is necesarry to deliver e-mail to e-mailadresses on your domain @yourdomain.tld. This means also that the site can be visited at http://www.yourdomain.tld and http://yourdomain.tld. This is normal and you have nothing to worry about.

 

Thanks for explanation.
