codeigniter project migration from iis to apache2

Question

I have migrated my project from Windows IIS to Mint Apache2. Unfortunately I am getting an error:

HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfil the request.

I have changed permissions on the files to 755. Normally if there is a CI error (connecting to db etc) it throws an error.

I have opened my index.php with VI, and I have noticed ^M on the end of each line in EACH FILE. This doesn't show in Aptana though.

I have spent last half a year writing this app and I'm not very excited about this. Does anybody have any experience with this?

Thank you.

Answer 1

If you have access to the shell on your server and it's running Linux/Unix, try this:

for i in `find . -type f` ; do dos2unix $i $i; done

The for i in `find . -type f` ; for i in `find . -type f` ; part finds all FILES within the current directory.

Then, do dos2unix $i $i; done do dos2unix $i $i; done runs dos2unix which will convert all your ^M 's to the Unix standard which is just \\r .

If you want to test it out on a single file, make a copy of a file and replace find . with find filename.ext

Answer 2

Try adding this to your php.ini.

display_errors = On

This should show a proper error instead of just throwing a 500. From therein it should be relatively simple to debug.
