505 Directory

take a look at your logs , should be at /etc/httpd/logs/error_log and check if there are any premature ended scripts or any libraries missing

try running php -v and check what is the output as well

Usually the website works well.

After testing it for long sometimes it has issues showing 505 error, i viewed these errors and checked them into the /etc/httpd/logs/error_log file

mtindor · Mar 26, 2008

Check this page out: thepage.php

[Wed Mar 26 00:04:15 2008] [error] [client 64.1.215.162] Premature end of script headers: thepage.php

That particular error message would have been accompanied with a 500 Internal error.

that page is like the masterpage of the website.
I don't know what i have to check, if this page working always ok, sometimes give that error.

Is it possible this error caused by cookies set ?

Phoenix cg · Mar 26, 2008

could it possibly be an update issues by cpanel? mine automatically updated to an edge release and ive been getting 500 internal server errors all day

madone · Mar 31, 2008

Hello, after view a top command, i see usage of ram memory too high..

940 Mb of 1 giga

Is it possible issues ?
How can i solve it ?

It shows me 500 error when too much usage of memory.

Sindorf · Apr 5, 2008

Maybe it is better to optimize your PHP scripts.

madone · Apr 7, 2008

i optimize a lot php scripts,
i notice the issues is generated only when there are too many requests at the same time.

I tried 7 requests at the same time, from my part.

1 give me portion of the website.
1 give me 500 Internal Server Error
other requests were all done.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe, is there a method to cache the pages requests ?
So it shows the pages as static results.

The first time you open the page you will see dinamically content, after other users see the same page as static, maybe it loads less more than using always php scripts and mysql interaction.

That's actually a fairly common technique for application-level caching in PHP. I believe Smarty Templates has this functionality built-in and enabled by default and some third party scripts now have plug-ins for such functionality (e.g. WP-Cache for WordPress).

madone · Apr 7, 2008

already has caching with eaccelerator and memcache diskcache in apache,
now i am looking for other kind of software to install and improve performance.

Like memcached, libevent.

Putting keepalive off in apache it sends less errors.

Please help me.

Maybe i will use a new system like a scalable cdn.

I think my dedicated server isn't very good for this such of usage.

What you think about scalable cdn, someone use it ?
