Hello Michael,

WebSite X5 Pro includes a built-in online control panel which can help you diagnose the cause of such a problem:

https://help.websitex5.com/en/v2019.2/pro/index.html?pannello_controllo.htm

Please follow the instructions in the links above, and run the email tests in the Website Test Section of the control panel.

You can of course revert to us once you have done so, should you need further help and assistance.

Kind regards,

Paul

Hi Paul,

I have already tried to access the Admin page on my website and it also comes up with the 500 error page.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Are you able to execute simple PHP scripts on the NAS at the present moment?  I don't mean WebSite X5 PHP scripts, but scripts of your own, or test scripts (phpinfo for example).

What does the NAS error log say about the 500 error?  It should provide some detail as to why script execution failed.

When you say PHP scripts does this mean like PHPMyAdmin and PHPbb etc? If so yes they all work as normal

Can you download the attached file and upload it inside the root directory of your WebSite X5 project on the NAS, so that it is accessible at the following URL:

Please advise when you have done this.

Unfortunately that means that PHP is not configured correctly on your NAS, Michael.

I notice in your opening post you mentioned PHP7 and also PHP7.2  -  did you install two differing versions on the same NAS?

Your online control panel is also now displaying as it should.  You should be OK from here on in, Michael.

Hi Paul,

Right i have managed to work it out..

Basically there was an update to the PHP 7.2 but it never updated the webstation on the NAS. I have now enabled this to the latest firmware and it is now accessible.

Thank you so much for you help on this. 

Sorry for being a novice on this

Cheers

Mike

You should now delete the phpinfo file from the server, for security reasons.
