its on a vps not a shared host.

Linux or Windows?
You should have error 500 being reported in your logs

Its debian 8 so linux. I just have chrome and firefox giving me

The five-rings-online.com page isn’t working
five-rings-online.com is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500

Locate your php.ini file:

katos@stardust:~$ locate php.ini/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Edit that file as root:

sudo vi /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Find this line in php.ini:

Display_errors = Off

Change the above line to this:

display_errors = On

Lower down in the file you'll see this:

;display_startup_errors;   
Default Value: Off;   
Development Value: On;   
Production Value: Off;error_reporting;   
Default Value: E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE;   
Development Value: E_ALL | E_STRICT;   
Production Value: E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED

The semicolons are comments, that means the lines don't take effect. Change those lines so they look like this:

display_startup_errors = On;   
Default Value: Off;   
Development Value: On;   
Production Value: Offerror_reporting = E_ALL;   
Default Value: E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE;   
Development Value: E_ALL | E_STRICT;   
Production Value: E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED

Do what you did to cause the 500 Internal Server error again, and check the log:

vi /var/log/apache2/error.log

You should see the 500 error at the end of the log

Still not outputting anything to the error log

How strange.
Are you using custom logs at all? If so, try making sure you check the default log files as well.

I havn't edited the log location at all, so I asume its default

Is there anyway I can run a repair on the forums?
