Internal Server Error on Installation

    Whenever I install NinjaFirewall my site goes down with an “Internal Server Error” until the NinjaFirewall code is removed from my .htaccess file.

    This is under my initial system configuration check:
    “Your server seems to be running PHP as an Apache module (APACHE2HANDLER). Therefore, we will not need any PHP INI file.”

    Any suggestions on what I might try to successfully install?

    Hi,

    The installer adds this code to your .htaccess:

    # BEGIN NinjaFirewall
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_value auto_prepend_file .........
</IfModule>
# END NinjaFirewall

    Can you try to remove the opening and closing IfModule directives and see if it helps?

    # BEGIN NinjaFirewall
php_value auto_prepend_file .........
# END NinjaFirewall

    Thanks for the response! Unfortunately it didn’t work though.

    Can you check your Apache error log ? It will show the reason why it returned a 500 error.

    Here are 2 errors:

    /home/—–/public_html/.htaccess: php_value not allowed here, referer: http://www.—&#8211;.com/wp-admin/network/admin.php?page=NinjaFirewall

    /home/—–/public_html/wp-content/plugins/ninjafirewall/.htaccess: Options not allowed here, referer: http://www.—&#8211;.com/wp-admin/network/admin.php?page=NinjaFirewall&nfw_firstrun=1

    If this is your own server, you would need to add those directives to your Apache virtual host configuration file:

    <Directory /path/to/your/website/folder>
   Options All
   AllowOverride All
</Directory>

    And restart Apache after the modification.
