Every External Plugin Gives Error 500, internal server error for every external plugin Options

[tofm2]

Hello

My openX (OpenX v2.8.7 running on Apache 1.3.42, PHP 5.2.17 et MySQL 5.5.17 ) categorically refuses to execute any external plugin I have installed. Notice this ad server does not have any cpanel administrative interface that is documented to make similar errors.

Those external plugins are :

• ZetaPrintsExtension0.1
• apMagicGeo1.0.0
• apStatsGraphs1.0.4

They are installed and enabled of course, every time i try to access them by admin interface, this makes an ugly error 500 internal server error.

please also notice this is the only case of error 500 i have on this installation, no 500's on logins and logouts.

thank you for your help in solving this annoying problem.

Happy new year to all.

Are you sure that the webserver process (apache?) has full permissions to the plugins and other directories? Generally i do

chown apache:apache -R openx

(recursively own all directories and files under openx)

Is there any error msg in debug.log or webserver access/error logs?

I found no errors in error logs, just a 500 code in access log for every external plugin access tentative. (and a denial in broser view

Is this path correct (and file available)
/ads/www/admin/plugins/zpBannerDesigner/banner-designer.php

and is it accessible/readable to the apache process?

I finally got it, it was a file/ directory permission problem. Solved with -R 755 chmodding files and directories inside /www/admin/plugins and not /plugins directory only.

thanks for suggesting

happy new year
