Question

I installed a browser game called travian on my webhosting under the domain of freetravian.com

it didn’t go smoothly so i deleted everything in public html and started over, in the middle of installation I get this error

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration 

and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [e-mail] 

and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might
have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to 

use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I filed a ticket and they have tried to fixed it buy haven’t done so in three days. So I decided to ask members on stack overflow.

The message says to check error logs, so I did that.

What could possibly be the cause? i suspect i deleted something important in public html.
I’ll +1 everyone who answers. Thank you.

Answer 1

Those are your Apache error logs I believe, I think you need to look at your PHP error logs to get to the proper error.
