currently unable to handle this request HTTP ERROR 500 [closed]

Answer 1

Have you included the statement include ("fileName.php"); ?

Are you sure that file is in the correct directory?

Answer 2

My take on this for future people watching this:

This could also happen if you're using: <? instead of <?php.

Answer 3

Your site is serving a 500 Internal Server Error. This can be caused by a number of things, such as:

• File Permissions
• Fatal Code Errors
• Web Server Issues

EDIT

As you have highlighted it is a permission issue. You need to ensure that your files are executable by the web server user

Please see below article for some guidance on proper file permissions. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/proper-permissions-for-web-server-s-directory

Answer 4

I was having "(...) unable to handle this request. http error 500" and found out it was from a require_once that was working locally, on a windows machine, with backslash (\) as separator for directories but when i uploaded to my server it stopped working. I changed it to forward slash (/) and now is ok.

require_once ( 'cards\cards.php' ); // **http error 500**

require_once ( 'cards/cards.php' ); // OK

Answer 5

I found this was caused by adding a new scope variable to the login scope
