Getting a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
If you are using GoDaddy.com here's a possible reason why -
You cannot use Options modifier in .htaccess files with GoDaddy.com.
Related : Apache Deb Box .htaccess file set-up alternative
If you are modifying your .htaccess file for security purposes heavily on an Apache Box.
If you getting this 500 Internal Server Error on other web hosting companies or your own Apache Dev box.
Here's a possible work around.
I noticed today that I receive the following error message in each page view error_log get written:
Options FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that RewriteRule directive is forbidden:
/var/www/vhosts/domain.Ca/httpdocs/index.pl, referer: http://www.domain.ca/
Workaround
The error messages is to get a grip on a previously used by me without any problems possibility of under / etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf to change the order as in about
An attempt at an explaination is a follows of what SIDS are.
A security identifier (SID) is a unique value of variable length used to identify a trustee. Each account has a unique SID issued by an authority, such as a Windows domain controller, and stored in a security database. Each time a user logs on, the system retrieves the SID for that user from the database and places it in the access token for that user. The system uses the SID in the access token to identify the user in all subsequent interactions with Windows security. When a SID has been used as the unique identifier for a user or group, it cannot ever be used again to identify another user or group.
Windows security uses SIDs in the following security elements:
The "S-1" part
refers to this being a version 1 Security Identifier.
The "5" identifies
the top-level identifier authority as SECURITY_NT_AUTHORITY.
All Windows SIDs
begin with "S-1-5".
The first sub-authority is "21",
which is SECURITY_NT_NON_UNIQUE, and means indicates a domain id will follow. This means that the value of the SID is made
unique by the addition of the RID value (the last part of the decimal format).
The next three sub authorities "527237640-484763769-1060284398" are 32-bit random numbers to uniquely identify
the computer.
The final part of the SID is the Relative Identifier (RID) of the
object. The local Administrator user on all computers has the same well-known
RID, "500".
Note: If the local computer SID prefix values are not unique, then local user accounts
on two different computers can have the same objectSID. For example, the local
Administrator user, which always has the same well-known RID value of 500, will
have the same objectSID value on two different computers if the local computer
SID prefix is the same. Permissions granted to one of these users will apply to
the other by mistake.the The RIDuniquely identifies an account or group within a domain.
Determine some quick SIDs on your computer from the Windows CMD line;
whoami /user - lists your logged-in username SID
whoami /groups - list user group permission as SIDs, see image below
But this is not giving me a complete comprehensive list of SIDS.
But know I suspect 1026 is part of IIS installed on my computer, given natural progression of numbers, but it is not listed. If you suspect a you can try to do a reverse look-up of the SID.
Running the the above script produced following output.
So at least S-1-15-2-1 in above example I know is a legitimate account and not been hacked. Still I could not identify this account Account Unknown (S-1-5-21-1796778222-299937555-3999959969-1026) directly - but I did find 1026!!! For the record this is a list of common SIDs I found using above setACL command.
So the in the above output there are three records ending with 1026. and the last one is revealing since it it begins with same SID=S-1-5-21 and RID=1026 as in our unknown account. But the 3 sub authorities numbers
1111111111-222222222-3333333333 is supposed to be random and this is not! LOOKS LIKE THIS IS HACKED ACCOUNT - THIS IS NOT GOOD! At least this unknown account looks normal; Account Unknown (S-1-5-21-1796778222-299937555-3999959969-1026)
and we have a match kinda. At least we can at a least get permissions of this owner and some programs that use it.
Well turns out these did now work either to reset some files, so back to another method.
Tried to use free resource toolkit tool SIDwalker and Showaccs but did not produce any results on Windows 7.
Ultimately, I headed back to SysInternals and found a tool called AccessEnum v1.32. AccessEnum gives you a full view of your file system and Registry security settings in seconds, making it the ideal tool for helping you for security holes and lock down permissions where necessary. Voila !
But the results of that are in my next post, Using AccessEnum to hunt down unkown file SIDs.
.HIDDEN REGISTRY KEYS - SECURITY & SAM Some of the security and core system related keys are hidden from user even when part of an administrator group cannot see these special keys. Here are some of the such hidden registry keys HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SECURITY HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SAM SECURITY registry key stores all the system policy and LSA secrets related information. SAM registry key has details for user accounts along with LM/NTLM password hashes for each user. There are many ways we can view these hidden registry keys. We can use psexec.exe tool (part of pstools package from sysinternals) to launch the regedit.exe as system account as shown below. psexec.exe -s -i regedit.exe
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SECURITY - now you can explore SIDs !
You can delete SIDS using the following technique;
If you are finding weird characters in the Wordpress News Blog roll, then your has been hacked. An example is;

+AFsAJgAj-8230+ADsAXQ- […]
There are many, resolutions but even after thishttp://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked and many more recommendation using Google search about this. You may see these I+ACYAIw-8217+ADs-m still appear. An analysis of several sites, indicates that this has been caused by a change in a database setting. These strings are stored in your MySQL database and once corrupted remain there. This is because a change to using UTF-7 instead of UTF-8. See below for changes back to UTF-8.You may have to convert old database fields into the new characters set, see below for a solution.
But for WordPress New RSS Blog entries from the mother-ship, these entries which are stored in WordPress as transients. You can just blow of them off, and delete them.
Here is an excellent plug-in to just that. Delete all transients
2. In the WordPress admin menu, Change “Settings->Reading->Encoding for Pages and Feeds” from UTF-8 from UTF-7
Following the above bad advice might appear to ‘fix’ the appearance of some languages, but others will still display incorrectly. Furthermore, these changes will cause your text to be encoded incorrectly, so that when you do implement the correct fix, your foreign-language pages will have bad character mappings and be filled with incorrect characters. You will then have to correct or re-enter the text from scratch. If you found unusual characters in your database, try this... To fix this problem, you need to change the default character set/collation of your WordPress site’s MySQL database to UTF-8/utf8_general_ci and then convert all the current table data. The traditional way to do this is to run various “ALTER DATABASE” and “ALTER TABLE” SQL queries within phpMyAdmin or via the command-line mysql client, and you can find some great instructions here: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Convert_latin1_to_UTF-8_in_MySQL Unfortunately, this procedure is tedious. There is however a fantastic plugin named Convert WP Database to UTF-8. This plugin adds a sub-menu page named “UTF-8 DB Converter” to the Plugins Menu. Simple click on “Start converting” and the plugin will automatically execute the required SQL queries to alter the character set and collation of all your existing WordPress tables. You only need to do it once per website, and the problem is fixed for good. You can then uninstall the plugin. Although this plugin has always run without a hitch for me, it is proper practice to make a backup of your WordPress database before attempting this procedure, just in case something goes wrong. Most web hosts provide wizards that let you easily backup your MySQL databases, but you can do this using phpMyAdmin or a WordPress plugin like Also, you should place your website in maintenance mode using a plugin like WP Maintenance Mode to stop users accessing your website while the character set conversion is in progress. The time taken will vary depending on how big your database is, but for me, the conversion has always been completed in less than 1 minute.
