Linux CentOS 6.5 PHP Issues?

[Kyle F]

Hey guys...

So I own my own Linux CentOS 6.5 dedicated server, it's a 12 core server with 8GB RAM.. I have cPanel/WHM installed on it etc.. - For the past 5 hours (approx) my server has been randomly giving me Internal Server Errors, yet when I check the Apache logs, nothing reports.. I was trying to put IP.Board 3.1.x on simply because I want to take some template edits from it to import/use on IP.Board 3.4.6. However, when I tried to install it (after uploading the files) it just came up with ISE.. (Internal Server Error).. So I logged into SSH and did the following (saves time uploading via FTP)

root@darknight [/home/<snip>/public_html/phpbb]# wget https://www.phpbb.com/files/release/phpBB-3.0.12.zip
root@darknight [/home/<snip>/public_html/phpbb]# unzip phpBB-3.0.12.zip

Then tried to see if I get an Internal Server Error with phpBB...and what did my wondering eyes appeal, it gives an error. At first I thought it might be mod_security breaking the PHP scripts...but then I thought...it can't be, because the PHP scripts was working 5 hours ago... so at the moment I'm currently rebuilding Apache and PHP to see if that fixes anything..

Any ideas what could be causing these issues? Not to mention I've had FTP permission denied errors as well... :sad:

EDIT:

So the rebuild just finished with the following error:

    -- Begin test 'Basic HTTP Request for static content' --
localhost did not have any working mirrors.  Please check your internet connection or dns server. at /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/HttpRequest.pm line 610.

Thanks guys!

centos 6.5

I am using 6.5 with no issues but is directadmin.

not using nginx/varnish proxy plugin (especially that apachebooster one) are you?

I would look towards vhost issues.

No no, my server is running PHP 5.4.23 on CentOS 6.5 running cPanel/WHM 11.40.1 (build 8) with Apache 2.2.

Oh sorry! Yea I also run Centos 6.5 with no problems :(

Well I've ran through checks with PHP but it seems that something else may be wrong. All it's giving for every single PHP script is a 500 Internal Server Error, which obviously indicates something wrong with the webserver. (Namely Apache) but am unable to find any error logs that gives any indication of a problem.. :/

This can be marked as resolved. I've fixed the issue by running this following command in SSH:

# find /home/*/public_html -type f -name '*.php' | xargs chmod 0644 --
# find /home/*/public_html -type d | xargs chmod 0755 --

# find /home/*/public_html -type f -name '*.php' | xargs chmod 0644 --
# find /home/*/public_html -type d | xargs chmod 0755 --

which is an indication you are running suphp and had your perms as 777.

[Kyle F]

Yeah, all is good now. :) Thanks for the replies etc, and thanks Rhett for confirming that.

[Dmacleo]

that was my next thought, the handler used.

Yes Dmac, my hosts file was also a bit messed up, but that wasn't the issue. I had multiple hostnames for my server which I had originally set it up with, but I purchased a domain for my servers hostname. Turns out the user permissions was also a bit messed up for cPanel accounts.
