使用apache 2.4和silverstripe 3.1.12的500 Internal Server Error

Question

I have installed silverstripe using composer

composer create-project silverstripe/installer /var/www/

When I go to local host I get "Internal Server Error". The apache2 error.log file gives me:

[Sat Apr 11 19:12:21.824829 2015] [core:error] [pid 3250] [client 127.0.0.1:58951] AH00124: Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace. 

A friend suggested it might be a permissions issue, we tried

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www

Which didn't work.

Any ideas? ps I'm new to web dev and have tried a few IRC channels for help.

Answer 1

There could be one of these

1. a misconfigured .htaccess file (or VirtualHosts ) that causes recursive requests being made. Try this snippet for the respective file of yours.

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php/$1 [L,QSA] </IfModule> 

2. wrong permissions. Try to set the permission set of *.php files to 0644 or 0755
