PHP 5.4 500 Internal Server Error

    I have just upgraded PHP to PHP 5.4.12 from 5.2.6 on an IIS7 web server and I now receive 500 Internal Server Errors when browsing to sites with a default installation of WordPress 3.5.1.

    When run locally the wordpress index.php page returns page and informs the user that the wp-config.php does not exist and then continues for the user to create it. Running the same index.php file through a command line php-cgi.exe the status is still 500 Internal Server Error, however it appears to be ignored!

    I am trying to determine the reason for the 500 errors but at present unable to, any help would be greatly appreciated thank you.

    – first off, check your site’s error logs for a more specific error message.

    @wpyogi – 1 month old is an “old thread”?

    Sorry, I should have just said, “please start your own thread per

    Unless you are using the same version of WordPress on the same physical server hosted by the same hosts with the same plugins, theme & configurations as the original poster, do not post in someone else’s thread. Start your own topic.

    simpso1j, are you really expecting someone who solved their problem 1 month ago to come here and answer you?

    Again: if you have particular issue with PHP 5.4 – post your own question in a new thread. btw its good that you are looking in old posts, but posting in them isnt a very good idea.

    Hi Simpso1j – Amazingly friendly and helpful forum this isn’t it?! and I am more than happy to help if I can. Pretty illogical to start a new thread when I didn’t receive any help on the same topic!!

    To be honest I didn’t really got to the bottom of this. What I did find was that it wasn’t an IIS 500 internal server error, it looked to be passed by the wordpress code because of the missing configuration file! I could have 1. Altered the 500 custom page in IIS to the sites index page which effectively re-routed this error back to the index page which was far from ideal or 2. Except the error and update the wp-config.php manually

    Sorry I couldn’t be more specific and give you an exact answer, but I hope this has been helpful in some way. Good luck
