500 Internal Server Error, Additional 404 for ErrorDoc ...

Just though I would mention this while I'm here ...

I have two WindowsXP boxes almost identical, configs practically the same, mostly the same software and settings, both access to web through a router and topology is identical.

On one box, I can browse the site on any browser I have. IE, Firefox, Maxthon ...
On the other I cant even get the homepage on any browser, IE, Firefox, Maxthon ...

I can browse anywhere else on both ...

Strange ...

All I get is this 500 Internal Server Error With Additional 404 ... I look this up in the web to see whats going on and every single responce/article I can find says it's a server only problem and not possible to fix at the client end! (Yep, I scratched my head too!) They say it's likely a cgi script error and it's the webmaster responiblity to fix it, not that I want you to fix this at all because I'm none to bothered and I can browse the site if I wanted ... it's just weird and I guess I wanted some feedback if anybody is clued ... Don't go giving yourself work or anything, just wonder if you noticed this in the logs or if it's a problem for other users or potential user that might want to visit www.braveheart.gaming.com ...

I figure bollicks, it has to be something at my end but it would have to be something system-wide to effect every browser like on the network-level and incedently if I run linux from the same hardware / connection it works fine too ...

Maybe some setting got bugged or some software is causing it, still all searches and technical info I've read say it's not possible to fix a 500 error at the client side, it's server misconfiguration.

Puzzeled but I wont loose any sleep over it ...

The site got 24 hits on code 500 internal server error. so im thinking this is you 😉
the 404 go way above that but the most 404 have to do with false downloading .gif
We know that the forums are gone when you connect with a linux to the site, but you have problems with all OS.
We have a pretty old php version maby its time for us to update ..
I cant give you anwser on the 500 code as i never have heard of it before, but it seems that its only you because of the 24 hits total on the site, its not a major problem i guess.
Hope you will find the awnser soon and share it with us here on this topic because you got me wondering also , dualboot normal gives no error like this.
ill end with 1 word: strange :?

cheers

Yeah, I think those are all mine, I tried several different browsers and again after changing some setting and disabling any software that I think may have caused it ... I did a lot of security tweaking on this box because it's just a spare computer in the hallway for anybody visiting to use so they don't have to ask to use mine ...

It's just strange, not serious so don't worry about it 😉 ...

At the same time though, I'm very curious and I'm thinking finding a solution to this problem could be very usefull to know or of great help for those experiencing it (even for people with there own websites) because as of yet, nobody seems to know of any client side reason for the 500 error and I'm fairly sure it's something client side causing it here ...

The 404 is just an after problem in that the server cant find a page to serve to describe the 500 error that occurred ...

I don't think I'm going to spend any more time on it but I'll keep it in mind should if run across something ...
