500 Internal Server Error (368)
1 Name: !WAHa.06x36 2005-02-21 17:46 ID:FqgLpoAw (Replies)
Since 500 Internal Server Errors aren't ever really caused by Wakaba or Kareha themselves, but are still a big problem for lots of people, I'm setting up this thread to discuss various problems and solutions related to them.

Right. You don't put Wakaba into the cgi-bin folder, at all. Incidentally that folder is a terrible idea in general.
The example.htaccess supplied with Wakaba is all the configuration you need, presuming Apache is configured to allow .htaccess files. (Rename it to .htaccess)

Just don't use xampp. It seems to be horribly broken.

CGI/Carp.pm is a core part of Perl, and xampp is shit. (See >>105-109, and http://www.google.com/search?q=site:wakaba.c3.cx+xampp)

After hours of fighting i have finally hit the wall, perl is supposedly working as test.pl outputs coherently, mysql is propably up and running correctly as even the tables have been created, folders and .pl files are correctly 755 and others 644, apache has ownership of the folders, and the wakaba.pl does not generate any 403 or 500 errors anymore. Only one small thing, when I go to the wakaba.pl and it generates .html and redirects me there, the .html gives me 500 error with apache error log saying [error] [client *] (13)Permission denied: exec of '/var/www/imgboard/wakaba.html' failed
[error] [client *] Premature end of script headers: wakaba.html

You should only have Apache set up to execute Perl scripts, not all files. Particularly it shouldn't be in a cgi-bin directory or any similar sort of configuration.

Well I fixed my first error and got it up. However if I chmod 777 res it redirects to wakaba.html which is 404 not found. Leaving as it is the dir is not writable.
Any thoughts?

Is your base directory - with wakaba.pl in it - writable?

I'm using kahera with mode_image and it works fine except that I get the 500 Internal Server Error when trying to post an image.
Does anyone know of a fix?

set permissions to 755 and make sure the owner of the all the directories and files is the user that the script is running as.

Set the permissions for directories wakaba, src, thumb, and res to 755.

I fixed my problem on my Linux server by using Dos2Unix on all the files because of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline#Common_problems.
And I also made apache the owner to the root document folder and as well: res, src, thumb.
GOOD LUCK

No-one ever posted a solution for this:
A directory of 777 recieves an error as the built in security prevents the script from running.
A directory of 755 prevents a file being written and so no posts can be made.
How can one setup the permissions allowing writting without an error being produced?
347 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2012-01-24 09:22 ID:Heaven
Turn off the security, or configure things to run as the correct user.

I've always wondered how shared hosting does that. Do they run their webserver software as root or something?
352 Name: Anonymous : 2012-01-24 16:25 ID:Heaven
>>350
No. You can spawn FastCGI servers which run with different UIDs to achieve the same security benefits, though.
>>351
Yes, it's a bitch and is (in my opinion) unnecessarily strict on how you set things up. mpm_itk does pretty much the same thing, but is easier to set up, lets you use crap like mod_php (so you won't have to dick around with getting PHP to run under FastCGI on Apache) and doesn't whine because you use mode 775 instead of 777 on your CGI scripts.

Apparently this is how it works on nginx

Ugh.. this is confusing the crap out of me.. I did everything as it said and I am getting this error.. "error when writing CGI reply" When posting an image. Message board works fine otherwise.. Also, how do I create new boards?? Sorry for being a newfriend..

Can't really help with the first problem, but to create new boards you just install Wakaba in another directory.

Check your nginx config. I think you aren't forwarding the pages to fastcgi or whatever properly.

...Well, they obviously do if you were able to make threads in the first place... Maybe its a permissions error?
362 Name: Anonymous : 2012-02-06 23:43 ID:OF0rkLn0
I set them all at 755. Perhaps it is because I am using Kareha hahaha, I wanted to use Wakaba but, it seems a lot more confusing to set up.
363 Name: Anonymous : 2012-02-06 23:49 ID:Heaven

It might need to be 775 depending on what fastcgi is running as. Don't blame yourself; its your host's fault.

For help, please send mail to this site's webmaster, giving this error message and the time and date of the error.
But, anyway, I am going to restart.. Just wipe my /public_html/
and do the steps again.
