How do I trouble shoot an Apache 500 Internal Server Error? (restart, status, tail... then what?)
7,205
First:
tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log
not error.log
Check your apache config file for a line with
LogLevel
I would suggest
LogLevel error
until you figure out the error. warn/debug might be too verbose

blunders almost 2 years
Here's what I've done so far
[username@VMname /]$ sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart [username@VMname /]$ sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart Stopping httpd: [ OK ] Starting httpd: [ OK ] [username@VMname /]$ /etc/init.d/httpd status httpd (pid 23043) is running...
Then tried running...
tail -f /var/log/httpd/error.log
That returned file not found, so I looked and this is what I see:
[username@VMname /]$ cd /var/log/httpd access_log access_log.1 error_log error_log.1 ssl_access_log ssl_error_log ssl_error_log.1 ssl_request_log
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!!
