[cobalt-users] [RAQ4] Bad brain day... how to diagnose an internal server error

[Greg Hewitt-Long <cobaltusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bad brain day...	

I've just moved 50 sites onto a clean RAQ4 - no sites setup before this.  I CMU'd them across, changed the IPs and began testing them using the IP address - ie,:

http://ip.add.re.ss/

I'm 2 sites in, and I get a 500 - Server Error - and the standard cobalt error appears.... no problem I think, it's a .htaccess file with a reference to the old site number - but it's not - I can't find a problem at all.

This site works on the old server, but not on the new... and ideas?  Both machines were RAQ4, same software loaded, but this one won't work.  My heads hurting and I can't think where to look for the problem - the access log shows this:

www.1stcityhomeloan.com 65.103.122.113 - - [10/May/2003:14:10:44 -0600] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 500 723 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.16; Mac_PowerPC)"


that's all.

The httpd.conf entry is:

NameVirtualHost 65.103.99.6
<VirtualHost 65.103.99.6>
ServerName www.1stcityhomeloan.com
ServerAdmin admin
DocumentRoot /home/sites/site3/web
ServerAlias 1stcityhomeloan.com www.firstcityhomeloan.com firstcityhomeloan.com
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}                !^65.103.99.6(:80)?$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}                !^www.1stcityhomeloan.com(:80)?$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)                      http://www.1stcityhomeloan.com/$1 [L,R]
RewriteOptions inherit
AliasMatch ^/~([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/sites/site3/users/$1/web/$3
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .cgi
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .pl
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
AddType    text/html     .shtml
</VirtualHost>


thanks for looking at this - I'm going on to check the rest....
