TwitterI have a website that has been setup and working fine for ages. It’s built using Code Igniter. It’s run using .htaccess files to restrict access and hide urls. All fine.
Until a couple of days ago when we try to access http://admin.dealersupport.co.uk we get a 500 error (this is the back end of the site, held in a seperate subdomain.) Nothing else has changed on the server. I have tried restoring from a back up from when I know it was working. The problem persists.
The only thing I can think of is that we recently upgraded to Plesk 11.0.9 and since then we have been seeing some Apache instabilities.
The only thing that is thrown up by the error logs is this:
Wed Nov 21 08:40:17 2012] [error] [client 94.31.24.129] Options FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that RewriteRule directive is forbidden: /var/www/vhosts /dealersupport.co.uk/admin/index.pl, referer: http://admin.dealersupport.co.uk/login
I have now added this to my .htaccess files
> Options +FollowSymLinks +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
> RewriteEngine On
And that seems to have eliminated that error from the error logs, but we are still getting a 500 error when we have logged into the backend.
We have updated to the latest version of CodeIgniter.
Can anyone help?
