    Hi lads

    I just got myself into a new venture, a linux VPS hosting. Have been using shared hosting for many years but totally a noob at this higher level. The idea is that I can learn more and when competence enuff will get into dedicated hosting.

    Now, i have aching problem with Apache (i think). basically i upload tar files (php scripts) using a ftp client in a public folder (public_html/test), then decompress the files using command lines from shell access.

    after that, when i view the site from browsers http://mydomain.com/test, it gives me this 500 internal server error!

    am not sure whats wrong, but. if instead of doing the above i.e. uploading already decompressed files using ftp program, everything seems working fine.

    i have checked the files permissions and ownership, looks all in order. any ideas?

    Mart

    Anything interesting showing up in /var/log/httpd/error_log (or wherever your Apache logs errors) when you get the 500 error?

    Sorted.

    I saw the log, it had all to be because of the permissions. Having unzip the files, they were all set to 775, which i changed to 755 and it works out fine now.

    thanks.
