SID-02193: 500 Internal Server Error after Apache 2.4 update

Status:	Asked	TWiki version:	6.0.0	Perl version:	5.10.1
Category:	CategoryInstallation	Server OS:	CENTOS 6.4 x86_64	Last update:	5 years ago

I currently have a healthy twiki installation that is working perfectly.

My server is telling me that I need to update to Apache 2.4. I recently tried to update to Apache 2.4 and as soon as the update completed, the twiki crashed with a "500 Internal Server Error".

I rolled back to Apache 2.2 and the twiki is working again.

I need to keep the server upto date, this means upgrading to Apache 2.4. Do I need to reconfigure anything after the update so twiki keeps working normally?

Discussion and Answer

I recommend running the ApacheConfigGenerator to generate a new config file. In any case check the apache server error log to see what the issue is.

Peter, Thank you for getting back to me.

I am using .htaccess as mentioned in the Configure the webserver, the reason I am using it is because I wasn't able to find path /etc/httpd/conf.d on my site (picture below). I am looking at .htaccess at /twiki/bin but do not see any settings that I can update for the Apache Version, is there anything I can update there?

I am trying to find the apache server logs and will get back with those. I looked in the cPanel error log and found this: =configure: Unquoted string "useful" may clash with future reserved word at /home/orbsetgo/public_html/twiki/lib/TWiki/Plugins/WatchlistPlugin/Config.spec line 34, <DATA> line 1.: = I went to the file and saw that this was a comment so I took out the comment, the error was still there.

• No /etc/httpd/conf.d path:
