/bandwidth gives Error 500

[n1zyy]

Quite a while ago, /bandwidth mysteriously started giving us "Internal Server Error"s (error code 500). We figured it was related to the latest cPanel upgrade, and that it'd fix itself in a few days. It's still broken.

Is this a common problem, and something we should just upgrade to fix? Or is something weird going on with our server?

What does your error_log say when you go to /bandwidth? Is it by chance referencing a regular user on the machine? Check your httpd.conf for an entry like this before the rest of your virtual hosts - one of our clients removed these on his server and the system tried to go to /bandwidth on the first virtualhost it found (which happened to be a regular user account).

NameVirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80
Alias /bandwidth/ /usr/local/bandmin/htdocs/

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4>
BytesLog domlogs/server.tld.com-bytes_log
ServerName server.tld.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/htdocs
</VirtualHost>

If they don't exist, add them, restart apache, and try it again.

Yup, those are where they should be, the first of the VirtualHosts. This is what shows in in error_log when I try to view /bandwidth/.

(Note that it comes up with the .htaccess login stuff, and *then* gives an error.)

I get the same errors, with different directories, if I try to view it on a different user's site, so it's not restricted to my site being weird.

if the alias was not present, then the browse output would be 404 and not 500.
This is related with suexec and phpexec.
