HTTP error 500 on website

[Nishant Raman]

I had installed open journal system from sotaculous. The website worked perfectly for a week but suddenly started showing http error 500.

- Removed - is the website. Could you please let me know how to fix that

As a starting point, I'd suggest opening the cPanel File Manager and using the search feature (top right hand corner) to search for "error_log".

With a bit of luck, errors may be getting recorded to the file system.

/usr/local/apache/logs/error_log did you check?

The advice from everyone in here is correct, identifying what's in the apache error logs is key.

Thanks!

Hi! I looked at the error log. But the problem is, I don't understand what it means. I'll attach the photo of the error log.

The problem seems to be from the site script, there are missing file or files.

Hello,


That's the PHP error log, which generally is also pretty useful but what is noted at cPanel>>Metrics>>Errors
