Internal Server Error

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

Please contact the server administrator at webmaster@dreadlockssite.com 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.

this is what i get every time

just a hunch
but could this be due to checking using the host file imean if router.php does its own dns lookup?

Jamroom does not do any DNS lookups.

An "Internal Server Error" is always a web server configuration issue - usually it's because Jamroom's .htaccess file is trying to use mod_rewrite, and Apache is not setup to allow it.

So you need to enable mod_rewrite - i.e.

a2enmod rewrite headers

then

service apache2 restart

Just remember: Internal Server Error = Apache misconfiguration, so don't waste time looking in Jamroom.

Hope this helps!

One thing to check is to make sure the contents are in the htaccess file, I noticed when I moved my site the htaccess file was showing at 0 bytes

Your server guys are the ones in the best position to know what works on their servers. I remember a thread:

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/using-jamroom/7181/godaddy-installation

About Godaddy servers needing customization to the .htaccess file to make it work. Might be that your host has a semi-custom setup too.

Check your MySQL error log - something is up. If you're using mysqladmin you should never see that.
