New Hosting: Xenforo 2 + php-fpm71 = HTTP 503 error

[Pamir Kiziltug]

Hello, we have a strange problem with the server we just bought. We have moved Xenforo 2.0 here and have PHP-FPM 7.1 on it. Speed, performance and everything are good. But messages are not working and topics can be created no more. There is HTTP 503 error.

Moving to PHP-FPM 5.6 has temporarily disabled the problem, but want to use 7.1. What do we need to do? Do we have to move to 7.2 or is there a problem with 7.1?

OS: Centos 7, Dadmin, 16 gb ram, 240 gb ssd, Apache

Thank you.

This most common cause for this error is server misconfiguration (e.g. a malformed .htaccess file) or missing packages (e.g. trying to execute a PHP file without PHP installed properly). To confirm whether a misconfiguration of the .htaccess file is the cause of the 500 Internal Server error, either remove or rename the .htaccess file temporarily and then try to reload the page.

Check your server error logs, contact your host and see if they can track down the issue.

Hi,

It is a new server. Wordpress and Xenfore are working together. There is no problem with wordpress. But when we switch to xenforo, the following error appears. I have tried your method but it didn't work.

Hi,

check if FGCI is acutally running, using the correct socket (here is the log its PHP5.6) and if the socket-permissions are correct.

HTH,

No problem with Wordpress. The problem is only appearing when try to create thread or send message on Xenfore 2.0.4.

Well,
do WP and XF point to the same PHP-FPM ? There is a misconfiguration on .htaccess or nginx (or whatever you use).

 

[markus68]

posting some kind of config-files would help ...

Hi Pamir

I've replied in the other thread regarding this, we had the exact same problem. Try setting mod_ruid2=no in options.conf file

This is our full options.conf file settings for our server if yours doesn't work after just disabling mod_ruid2=no

Remember to change yours to 7.1 if that is what you prefer, also, the formatting here when I list our settings on this site changes http_methods=GET: HEAD: POST and puts a smilie face in it (see below), so delete the face and put ": P" with no spaces
