ON Ubuntu - Error 500

[allan1015]

I have a spaken new Ubuntu/LAMP set up (php 5.3.3, mysql 5.1.49, Ubuntu 10.10),
I've got Drupal7 running and Im pretty sure my setup is working
I put the 5.26.3 netjukebox on and when I go there via browser I get a blank screen,
apache log shows a 500 error

No idea where to turn. As a test I moved the include folder to xinclude and still got same, I thought it would throw an error
I didn't set up any database, I changed the config.inc.php tp point to /media/ - though I don't have any files there yet

I ran php update.php (command line) and got this:
<code>undefined index: HTTP_HOST in /var/www/netjukebox/include/initialize.inc.php on line 80</code>
which is odd cause the call is to $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] and I put echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] i a test file and it works fine

After that there is an error Can't connect to MYSQL server (which does make sense as I didnt configure a DB)
(the instructions dont say to set up db prior to running)

Any ideas?

Update:

I created a file test.php with just phpinfo() in the nertjukebox directory, works fine
I put in require_once('include/initialize.inc.php'); in the file and I get the blank page error

So something in the initialization erroring out

There must be something wrong with your webserver configuration.
See here for 500 Internal Server Error: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html

netjukebox will create the database automatically, it cannot connect to the host defined in the config.inc.php file.

Hi,
I understand the idea of pointing to the webserver set up, it is a possibility.
Though drupal and some other webstuff ran just fine.

So I rebuilt the entire Ubuntu server and I only installed netjukebox and it coes up fine. I now have issues with Winapp but will research those before commenting.

However, I am not sure, I will be adding in drupal7 and that will have me adding in PHP PDO support, as well as php5-dev, adding PECL support and some other apache/php changes, so there is plenty in there to cuase some compatibility issue. I will let you know

So I have found what causes this issue and can replicate it

After installing the files are set to permissions of 704 and the directories are at 705 - I believe the permissions of 0 for the group is what causes this problem. I've never seen a web application on linux use 0 for the group permissions.

This requires the owner to be set to the the apache group www-data, (chown -R www-data:www-data).
Normally I chown to 'user:www-data' where user is the account I use for FTP

I changed the permissions to 644 for files and 755 for directories which is what most other products use as default permissions.

find -type d -print0 |xargs -0 chmod 755
find -type f -print0 |xargs -0 chmod 644

All is good now.
