"500 - Internal server error" when posting a message

Hi Klemen and Everyone,

First of all I want to thank PHP Junkyard and Kelmen for such a nice and useful Message Board, I really appreciate it.

Yet, I have a little problem with getting it running. (I did read the Readme and the forum, sorry if I missed it...) Everything works fine except when I post a message, it will give me

Server Error
500 - Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.
Thanks in advance!
Nick

Do you have access to your server's error logs? If yes check inside for any other error messages, if not ask your host to give you the exact error message because the internal server error is a general message hiding the real problem (probably a server-side configuration issue).

Hi Klemen,

thanks for the quick reply. I actually host it with my own server, kinda playing with it right now, and it's a 2008 server.

I will check the error log... hopefully I can find something... should I check the DNS log?

Thanks

HI Klemen,

I figured it out; it was because I didn't setup the email server and it will just trying to send out notification.


it's all good now. thanks for your help!
