Internal Server Error

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

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] 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.

What is going on....?

Error log:

Have you been installing MODs or anything?

If so backtrack your steps, make sure everything is perfect, also what even is that file it's looking for?
 
I had problems with one MOD but I unistalled and used backup files from automod.

I'm going to try to find any missing files (which will take forever...)

OMFG now I'm getting this error on viewtopic also!!!!!!!!
 
I can view topics without an error.

Did you change anything just before the error happened? If not then contact your host. If you did alter anything just before the error started then reverse what you did. Some times if you edit the htaccess file and mess up it can throw up a 500 error for example so it may be down to something you did or a problem on your hosts side.
 
Just registered and I got the error (404)

If you did a back up, before you installed the last MOD, I would do a restore from that point, if that clears it you know the problem was in your MOD edits.
 
I can't fix it.... Looks like it's good-bye everything ...again......
 
Download a clean version of phpBB3. Take out viewtopic.php, redo any edits for mods to that file carefully and upload it and then see if that solves it. If not then we can try something else.
 
Tried with viewtopic.php - still the same.
Going to try posting.php.
Results: same error.............
 
Did you clear the cache directory (except the index.htm file and the .htaccess file)?

If not then you might need to overwrite all the files (except config.php) with clean files unless you have a backup or you know what mod you installed just before the errors started?

Make a backup of the current files and the db though before just incase.
 
Tried to post with prosilver style, gives an error.

I took a lot of include files and other php files from phpBB fresh install - still nothing.

Going to try to move more files. Folder by folder so I can track where is the problem.
 
Can you please post your viewtopic.php & posting.php files here so I can have a look at them for you. Be careful when you replace files with a fresh install, if you have mods installed make sure you do those edits that are required by the mods to the new files otherwise the mod(s) won't work and it might even make your board worse.
 
Why you need to look at them, just download fresh phpBB and see them yourself. They are exactly the same...(I tried with fresh files and still gives the same error)...

I believe there is nothing to do, have to start over. But not today, not this week...maybe not even this month because I have 0 motivation on this... This is not the first time....
 
Because your old files might contain code which has caused the error. But since you don't want any help then forget it, have fun restarting your forum, and I don't know why you made this topic in the first place..
 
What, you got mad because....? Sorry if I was being negative, which I wasn't...

This is a very weird error, because I copyied almost all phpBB original files there and still got the error...
 
The only thing that leaves is a Database error? Idk

Do you have any restores to go off of?
 
I have all old files copyied from a backup. Now it's not messed up anymore but still...getting this error 🙁 I'll keep trying...

I didn't get mad, just frustrated as to why you created this topic if you don't want any proper help..

Obviously you've missed the file that contains the error.
