So i was having issues while sending emails from my php code, the emails doulnd't get out from my domain, but they worked with in the domain, example, from info#domain.com to another_mail#domain.com it was ok, but from info#domain.com to my_personal_mail#gmail.com it wasn't. So i tried to add the following line to my php.ini:
sendmail_path="/mail"
And the following started to appear in my index (and all other pages):
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator at webmaster#domain.com to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
After that I erased that line, but there was no turning back.
Also I tried to use the cpanel MultiPHP INI editor to override the php.ini file, but the problem still persist
Also i tried to add this line to my php.ini:
sendmail_path = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i"
I wasn't able to find the server error log.
The solution was given by the support of my service, they "reloaded the php version" and "restoring" the permissions on the system files.
I am having an issue when I have a php application that is returning an internal server error (500) however nothing is showing up in the error log.
Now I know there are error with what I am trying to run, I know I have missing some files and what not but something should show in the apache error log (otherwise how are I supposed to know exactly what I am missing).
I created a test script is errors it in under the same vhost configuration and those error show up fine so everything seems configured right as far as php/apache. Are there certain php errors that does show up in the error log (php is configure to display any type of notice, warning, , error, fatal error, etc...)?
This is running on ubunut 10.04 with the standard apache and php from the ubuntu repo with apt-get.
Scan your source files to find #.
From php documentation site
Currently the "#" error-control operator prefix will even disable
error reporting for critical errors that will terminate script
execution. Among other things, this means that if you use "#" to
suppress errors from a certain function and either it isn't available
or has been mistyped, the script will die right there with no
indication as to why.
Copy and paste the following into a new .htaccess file and place it on your website's root folder :
php_flag display_errors on
php_flag display_startup_errors on
Errors will be shown directly in your page.
That's the best way to debug quickly but don't use it for long time because it could be a security breach.
If you still have 500 error and no logs you can try to execute from command line:
php -f file.php
it will not work exactly like in a browser (from server) but if there is syntax error in your code, you will see error message in console.
Maybe something turns off error output. (I understand that you are trying to say that other scripts properly output their errors to the errorlog?)
You could start debugging the script by determining where it exits the script (start by adding a echo 1; exit; to the first line of the script and checking whether the browser outputs 1 and then move that line down).
In the past, I had no error logs in two cases:
The user under which Apache was running had no permissions to modify php_error_log file.
Error 500 occurred because of bad configuration of .htaccess, for example wrong rewrite module settings. In this situation errors are logged to Apache error_log file.
For Symfony projects, be sure to check files in the project'es app/logs

Btw, other frameworks or CMS share this kind of behaviour.
Here is another reason why errors might not be visible:
I had the same issue. In my case, I had copied the source from a production environment. Hence the ENVIRONMENT variable defined in index.php was set to 'production'. This caused error_reporting to be set to 0 (no logging). Just set it to 'development' and you should start seeing error messages in apache log.
Turned out the 500 was due to a semi colon missing in database config :-)
Another case which happened to me, is I did a CURL to some of my pages, and got internal server error and nothing was in the apache logs, even when I enabled all error reporting.
My problem was that in the CURL I set
curl_setopt($CR, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, true);
Which then didn't show me my error, though there was one, this happened because the error was on a framework level and not a PHP one, so it didn't appear in the logs.
You need to enable the PHP error log.
This is due to some random glitch in the web server when you have a php error, it throws a 500 internal error (i have the same issue).
If you look in the PHP error log, you should find your solution.
see here in the doc of how to enable it in the php.ini
Be sure your file permissions are correct. If apache doesn't have permission to read the file then it can't write to the log.
What happened for me when this was an issue, was that the site had used too much memory, so I'm guessing that it couldn't write to an error log or displayed the error. For clarity, it was a Wordpress site that did this. Upping the memory limit on the server showed the site again.
SOLVED
I struggled with this and later on, I realized that I was working on PHP 5.6, so I upgraded to PHP 7.0, then I released there were comments placed by git for conflicting codes. I found something like this in my code <<<<<<<< But solved it.
I installed one product. I got error like this. I dont know how to resolve this. I checked Php.ini file, .htacess file and file permission too. All are correct. Anybody tell the solution.
Error Message :
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webadmin#xxxxxx.xx 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.
The reason why the 404 error showed was because it was trying to write the error to a log, which you do not have enabled:
First thing to do is if you can get in the admin section of your site, make sure you have error reporting set to on:
Here is how to enable error reporting:
system_configuration_ADVANCED_Developer (system>configuration>ADVANCED>Developer)
When you open that tab you'll see a section called "log settings" choose the following:
-enabled to yes
- System Log File Name: system.log (or you can replace the system with another word like magensys.log)
-Exceptions Log File Name: exception.log
Now both these log files can be found in /var_log (www.domainhere.com/var/log or if it's a local installation magentofolder/var/local)
Try reloading the page where this error occurs and if it does occur again, then open your error log to see the error.
Most of the time it's due to extensions not agreeing with what you are trying to accomplish.
Option 2) Go to app_etc_local (app/etc/local) and delete the local.xml then reload your site and reinstall magento, this will not delete your site just reload your basic settings so you can everything back to normal.
If you could be a little more clear to what kind of product you were installing, where you were installing, etc... that would help pinpoint the error.
You need to check your php error log, if you don't know where it is you can do the following from your terminal:
$ -> `php -i | fgrep -i error`
You should see an entry for error_log. Tail that file and refresh the page, it should display the error.
Maybe this article
will help you. Try to use
<?php
# test.php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','On');
ini_set('error_log','my_file.log');
foreach(1 as $i);
ini_set('error_log','');
foreach(1 as $i);
ini_set('error_log','/dev/null'); #linux
foreach(1 as $i);
?>
I was facing this error because of wrong entries in httaccs file. Plz check your http access file

on trying to access my site. I even tried on a different server that was working properly and yet the same result.
Kindly help me out.
Thanks in advance.
The 500 Internal Server Error status code is normally caused by a misconfiguration in the web server or a server-side app that fails to work properly or is crashing. Find the web server error log: you should find the exact details of the error right there. In Apache, logs tend to be under %ProgramFiles%\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\logs (Windows) or /var/log/httpd (Linux).
The 404 Not Found status code when using the ErrorDocument directive is exactly that: you've customized your "not found" page with a file that does not exist. Find such directive in your Apache settings and fix it accordingly.
looks like you are having problem in your server configuration. If you are using apache server then it might be problem in .htaccess file check if there is any .htaccess file exists in your root folder if it is remove it and check it again
Sometimes it is a permission issue
Setting a 777 permission on a directory can cause this error
I have copied my project folder from my live server to my local host and edited the config file as per localhost, but still i am displayed with the "Internal Server Error:500"
The server encountered an internal
error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server
administrator, admin#localhost 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.
I cannot understand what should be the problem here, please help me to track the issue here....
I found It, There was an issue with the apache setting, rewrite module was not activated... I rectified it..
Thank you all for your Guideline....
