I am building a website for a photographer. I want the photographer to be able to do bulk or mass image uploads. Usually the images are very big files around 3MB to 5Mb each. I figured the best way to do this was by using image and image_pub modules. This way the photographer can use the Gallery Remote Java Client to create galleries and preview bulk uploads.

I was getting the anoying Error 500 - Internal server error on my 1and1 home shared hosting again.

I tried all the fixes on this site but still not getting passed the error page.

Then I realized that the front page of my site was working fine but the resto of the pages weren't. So I figured that there might be a problem with the clean URLs. I checked my .htaccess file and there it was.

# RewriteBase /

I uncommented that line.

RewriteBase /

This solved the problem.

 

These are some of the directive you can use to have your website work a bit better in terms of uploading files and showing really long pages like modules page and blocks page in the admin section of drupal.

Create a php.ini file in your site's root folder and copy and paste this code into it.

register_globals = Off
memory_limit = 96M
post_max_size = 100M
upload_max_filesize = 100M
max_execution_time = 1000
max_input_time = 1000

Copy and paste the following line at the beginning of your .htaccess file:

##
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php
##
