500 Internal Server Error - When accessing admin page

[johnwvg 0]

I need some help. I moved servers recently and have everthing working nicely EXCEPT my admin panel I can't log into. I go to www.mystore.com/catalog/admin and type in my username and password just to get this error:

 

---------------------------------

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

 

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@airlessusa.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

 

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

 

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

-------------------------------------

 

and thats it. :-( So I checked my server's log for any error's recently and here's the only error's I can find:

 

Route segment ":name" cannot be optional because it precedes a required segment. This segment will be required.

Route segment ":userID" cannot be optional because it precedes a required segment. This segment will be required.

Route segment ":token" cannot be optional because it precedes a required segment. This segment will be required.

 

Can anyone help me make sense of this? And any ideas on a possible solution? Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

[web-project 12]

can be incorrect chmod/permission files set...

On which file?

[johnwvg 0]

Anyone have any input on this? Is it a chmod/permissions issue? If so, what file(s) would it be that I need to modify.

 

Any other ideas as to what it could be? Please, I'm starting to pull my hair out on this issue. Thanks for any advice ANYONE can give me.

I'm guessing that you have an old .htaccess file in the 'admin' folder of your site which was used to password protect the admin folder on the old server your site was on, and that this is what is causing the Internal Server error.

 

Go to your web hosting control panel and use the Password Protect or Directory Protect link to apply new password protection to your 'admin' folder and it should overwrite any old .htaccess file.

Hey thank you so much! That was it. I re-did the .htaccess file through the use of my hosting providers utilities and it worked great. Thank you! You solved my headache, you're like a little Asprin pill. B)

This did not work for me. All I get is a blank white page when I go to my admin (www.mafgiftshop.org/admin). When I view the source I see the 500 error. Any thoughts?

 

I've gone through my CPanel and added password protection. I've also deleted the .htaccess file altogether. Nothing works. (FYI, I've restored the .htaccess file). Thanks for any help you can offer.

Sounds like you have an error on the page, and error reporting is not on.

 

A quick fix open /catalog/admin/index.php and add the following lines.

 

Below

<?

Add:

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

 

I believe that's the right code (I am doing it from memory).

I had the same problem after moving to new server, and have found the problem:

It is very important to write the RIGHT document root to configure.php files.

You can find it with:

<?php echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];?>

I have forget to add a slash in admin/includes/configure.php at row DIR_FS_ADMIN

so it generated internal server error in admin...

 

I hope it helps to others.

Sorry to bump an old post, but just wanted to say thanks. I added ssl and was getting the 500 error on the admin panel. Putting the correct doc root into the admin config was the solution.

I have tried all the mentioned tricks, but I am unable to login to admin panel. It is still showing internal server error. Here is the code of configure.php in admin/includes folder:

 

<?php

define('HTTP_SERVER', '');

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', '');

define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', '');

define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false');

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/public_html/demo/cottonsnshades/oscommerce/');

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/oscommerce/admin/');

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/public_html/demo/cottonsnshades/oscommerce/admin/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/oscommerce/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/public_html/demo/cottonsnshades/oscommerce/');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');

define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');

define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');

define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');

define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'images/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_MODULES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/modules/');

define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');

 

define('DB_SERVER', '');

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', '');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '');

define('DB_DATABASE', '');

define('USE_PCONNECT', '');

define('STORE_SESSIONS', '');

?>

 

Please tell me what is the solution? I have tried all the options but nothing worked

This is the code of configure.php for front site. which is working fine

<?php

define('HTTP_SERVER', '');

define('HTTPS_SERVER', '');

define('ENABLE_SSL', false);

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/oscommerce/');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/oscommerce/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/oscommerce/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/oscommerce/');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');

define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');

define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');

define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');

define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

 

define('DIR_WS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', 'pub/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/public_html/demo/cottonsnshades/oscommerce/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');

 

define('DB_SERVER', '');

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', '');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '');

define('DB_DATABASE', '');

define('USE_PCONNECT', '');

define('STORE_SESSIONS', '');

?>

[tttim6575 1]

i checked the config file  and everything is set up correct    so I need another option  that didnt work for me either.

@tttim6575

I highly doubt you'll get an answer here from the previous people. This is an old topic with the last answer dating back to 2012.

There are however 2 config files.

catalog/includes/config.php (front store side)
catalog/admin/includes/config.php (admin side)

A couple of things to check:

- make sure that in the admin config file both server definitions start with https://

- check the .htacess file in your admin directory and make sure it doesn't refer to a password file in a non-existent location

[tttim6575 1]

what does this error mean? 

 

[05-Mar-2019 07:23:12 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  require(): Failed opening required 'includes/classes/navigation_history.php' (include_path='.:/opt/alt/php54/usr/share/pear:/opt/alt/php54/usr/share/php') in /home/oo62hzb5zxce/public_html/mystore/mv9lflzupmwtgeoq/includes/application_top.php on line 134
