TW5 TiddlyWiki on Remote (Shared) Host: 500 Internal Server Error

[Purgatori Sakkara]

So after months of working on my personal TiddlyWiki in a strictly-offline capacity, I decided to upload it to the public html folder of my shared hosting account (Nixihost, FYI). For some reason, though, when I visit my Tiddlywiki at [mydomain.com]/main.html I encounter the following error instead of my TiddlyWiki:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator at [redacted]  to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Now I have read a little about store.php, but, from what I understand, that's something you only need if you want to save your local TiddlyWiki to a remote host rather than manually uploading it. Shouldn't a TiddlyWiki file 'just work' when accessed online, the way it does when you access it through a browser locally, or do I need to set some additional configuration options/permissions in order for it to work?

Hi Purgatori,

Funny name there ;-)

Try uploading any simple html file and see if it loads.

That's right.

 

or do I need to set some additional configuration options/permissions in order for it to work? 

You don't. Perhaps you have some htaccess file with a syntax error in your server / that directory?

Best wishes,

Tobias.

Strange. :-S I thought there must have been something I was missing, because, and perhaps I should have mentioned this to begin with, regular html files (for example, the index.html) uploaded to the same directory work just fine.

Hi Purgatori,

Maybe your hosting has weird limitations regarding file-size?

Best wishes,

Tobias.

Interesting thought, Tobias. I'll attempt to get in touch with my provider and find out whether that is the case.

Cheers!

Hi Purgatori

The error message you are receiving is a 500 which means an internal server error. TiddlyWiki cannot generate that error; it must be your web server that is generating the error.

As Tobias suggests, file size may be a problem. Another possibility is that the server is configured to perform some processing when serving HTML files.

Best wishes

Jeremy
