Hello all
I decided to download an auction script (weBid) through my Cpanel on my website.
as you may know everything is automatic. setting up database etc.
but when I clicked on register a new user I get this message.
Info icon
The website cannot display the page HTTP 500
Most likely causes:
•The website is under maintenance.
•The website has a programming error.
What you can try:
Thinking it must have downloaded incorrectly. I deleted it and downloaded again but with the same result.
So I downloaded the program and uploaded it to a free hosting website. and once installed worked perfectly.
So I then uploaded the same folder (script) to my paid host. Installed it. But with the same result as before when clicking the register button on the NAV bar I get a 500 error, Yet all the other links work fine.
When checking the error log it tells me
[20-Feb-2018 13:15:09 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Can’t use method return value in write context in /home/a1carava/public_html/auctions/register.php on line 217
When checking that file this is what it says.
{
if (empty($system->filter($_POST['TPL_nick'])))
{
It may be a glaring answer to someone in the know but im afraid its got me stumped.
my only other thought is the free website that the script works perfect on I have uploaded to /Public_Html/
My paid website I have uploaded it to a subdomain /Public_Html/auctions/ but if this is the problem why are the other links working?
Any advice would be gratefully received.
