  php 5 and iis7 on server 2008 Reply Contact  Hi, Heres my issue, I have successfully installed php 5.2.5 on server 08, installed mysql and phpmyadmin and all seems to be working except in one capacity. After banging my head against the wall for days It seem as though if I call a variable $whatever=$_POST['stuff'] or  $whatever=$_GET['stuff'], i get a "500 error internal server error there is a problem with the resource and it cant be displayed".   I'm sure this is more of a php.ini problem, perhaps, but I've parsed through that damn file 4 million times and have no idea what it could be and haven't been able to find any help out there, All this stuff was working on php 5.2.4 and apache, but now that i get a nice 08 server set up and already got some ftping going on there so i would rather not go back. The pages that connect directly to the databas and pull info work just fine, but any page that has info passed to it, i get nothin'. any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Re: php 5 and iis7 on server 2008 Reply Contact  I have now noticed that some other things arnt working either, while some other code works, mysql querys and the like it seems that includes arnt working and also some if else for instance this gives me a 500 error: if ($orderby==""){     $orderby= "name";     echo $orderby;     }else{     $orderby=$orderby;         } but if i do this: $orderby='something';   if ($orderby==""){     $orderby= "name";     echo $orderby;     }else{     $orderby=$orderby;     echo $orderby;     } page displays and i see the value of orderby.

Also do you see any PHP errors in the PHP log file? To enable PHP logging set these in php.ini: log_errors = On error_log = "C:\Path\To\Your\Logfile.log http://ruslany.net

  Re: php 5 and iis7 on server 2008 Reply Contact after turning my error log on, (i turned friendlies off a couple of days ago, check it again, still of, but still just getting 500 error) I noticed that there was some errors, i believe i messed some stuff up in trying to trouble shoot. once i got those issues worked out i was able to get certain info to show up that was using the post and get methods. includes seem to be working if else as well. Seems as though it was my problem form the beginning, thats pretty embarrassing. I am still getting php errors for undefined varaiable and undefined index errors however that peice of code that the error is for seem to be working just fine and not causing any problem. it the orderby code from above, its working the way it should but still showing an error in the log. oh well I would still like to know however what the deal is with the 500 error, i probably could have figured this out if i was getting the php errors that i was looking for to begin with.   Thanks for the help though.

Create a rule that will capture a trace for 500 errors and then check through the trace log file and see if it gives you any useful information. Here is the article on how to use FRT. http://ruslany.net
