HTTP ERROR 500 when opening admin

[ozbob]

Hello,

I have started getting a 500 error when I log in to admin and then try to open admin  ie.  https://railbotforum.org/mbs/index.php?action=admin

Correct password is entered and then " railbotforum.org is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500 "

Any idea as to what might be wrong please?

Running SMF 2.0.17

Thanks
Bob

Hi Bob, can you say which php version your host is running on the server.

Current PHP version
native (5.6)

[ozbob]

No, not related to the admin page.

Last entry in error log is

' [Thu Jan 23 01:42:38.307954 2020] [authz_core:error] [pid 451758:tid 47267583616768] [client 66.45.232.28:13571] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /home/railbotf/public_html/rss/error_log, referer: https://railbotforum.org/rss/rss2html.php?XMLFILE=http://translink.com.au/travel-information/services-and-timetables/ferries/rss&TEMPLATE=https://railbotforum.org/rss/ferry-template.html '

Which is not related.

Thanks.

[tumbleweed]

I had updated the site to PHP 7.0 which reflects the difference between OP and mine.

"  [24-Jan-2020 08:32:24 Australia/Brisbane] PHP Notice:  Undefined index: page_management in /home/railbotf/public_html/mbs/Sources/Admin.php on line 235

^ So this is the problem?

[ozbob]

I am back into admin thanks to tumbleweed.

Solved for now.

Call to undefined function BBCTwitter_Who()

Was an old mod.  Removed the call in Who.php "  PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function BBCTwitter_Who() in /home/railbotf/public_html/mbs/Sources/Who.php on line 802 "

All functioning fine.

[tumbleweed]

The code still throws error.

Code Select Expand

/** Page Manager next item **/
'pages' => array(
'label' => $txt['page_management'],
'file' => 'Pages.php',
'function' => 'Pages',
'icon' => 'logs.gif',
'subsections' => array(
'main' => array($txt['page_management_main']),
'add' => array($txt['page_management_add']),

Not sure what is causing the error?

[Kindred]

per the error
$txt['page_management']
is not defined. 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

That's from page management mod, it either didn't install correctly or didn't uninstall cleanly.  IIRC, it wasn't updated beyond 2.0 RC.

[Kindred]

but the error, as listed is merely a missing txt string.

[ozbob]

That's from page management mod, it either didn't install correctly or didn't uninstall cleanly.  IIRC, it wasn't updated beyond 2.0 RC.

Thanks,  I used that mod some time ago, uninstalled.  If I remove the code that should solve the error?

[Kindred]

well, if you uninstalled -- it looks like you ignored the errors during uninstall and it left code behind.
Yes, you can probably remove that code...   but it suggests that there may be other code left behind as well...

[ozbob]

Yes, more than likely.  Removed the code from Admin.php,  errors gone.  PHP now 7.0.

Thanks everyone.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

but the error, as listed is merely a missing txt string.

There has to be remnant code calling the $txt string, or it wouldn't throw an error.  If the code is removed, doesn't matter if $txt is there or not.
