Hi

I am trying to import a sql file to my site through bigdump.php script, but when I run the program through the adress bar it brings up this message:

"
Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.2.8 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8b mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at www.dressupgames4you.com Port 80"


I have followed the step by step guide and am pretty sure I have done everything right.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
John

This mean that there is an ".htaccess" file somewhere with your script that create an error in apache.
If you can, look in the error log, to find more information about what is the cause of this message.

Hi

Thanks for the info, BUT it says it cannot create the error file

this is the *.htaccess* file

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ index.php?params=$1 [L]

## Edit the following, remove the "#" at the beginning of the "Rewrite" lines to enable hotlink protection

## Allow MySpace
# RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?myspace.com [NC]
# RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(profile\.)?myspace.com [NC]
## ... LiveJournal
# RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(.*\.)?livejournal.com [NC]
## ... Blogger
# RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(.*\.)?blogspot.com [NC]
## ... your own site (edit URL here
# RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?YOURSITE.com [NC]
## send inappropriate hotlinkers to "hotlink.swf"
#RewriteRule \.(swf)$ hotlink.swf [NC,L]
#

## Remove the "#" at the beginning of the next three lines, and edit "YOURSITE.com" appropriately to rewrite all non-www links to www.
# RewriteBase /
# RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.YOURSITE\.com [NC]
# RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.YOURSITE.com/$1 [L,R=301]

## Remove the "#" at the beginning of the following lines to enable 'secure' uploadfiles directory protection.
# <Directory /uploadfiles>
# deny from all
# </Directory>

## Remove the "#" at the beginning of the next line to turn off directory indexes.
# Options -Indexes

BUT it says it cannot create the error file

No, it says that it cannot find the error page.
Not that the error log don't exists.
Look at your site root, maybe you will have an "log" directory, and you could find something like "error.log", or "error_log"...

But probably, your error is that this tells apache to use the rewriting url engine:

RewriteEngine on

But it will create an error if the url rewrite module for apache is not enabled.
Try to rename the .htaccess to something else (this will make apache ignore it) and try again to access your page.

If it works, it means that the url rewrite module is not enabled in the apache main configuration. Look with your host if he can enable it.

Hi Tripy

I have not found an error file and i deleted the htaccess and it still comes up with the same error

its driving me mad lol

I'm no expert on any of this, but perhaps you could try a different script instead of big dumper?

I use mysqldumper for backing up my databases and it works well and is easy to use- http://www.mysqldumper.de/

I do not know if it would be suitable for what you want, but it might be useful?

Hi

Thanks for the link.

Its not really helping though

Thanks for your help just the same
