Forum Archive - Error 500 using Pro

Hello. I am using GTranslate Pro v.3.141592 on Joomla 1.5. I set all as recommended in the txt file, and server requirement are ok. When I want to translate a page, I get a 500 error message : Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] 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 tried uninstall and install several times, but the problem is still the same. Did someone have a solution for this issue ? Thanks in advance. Regards.

Can you check your .htaccess file? There should be instructions to avoid 500 server error. Make sure that you don't have syntax errors and check the file permissions as described in the troubleshooting.

Hello Edvard. Thanks for your quick reply. I check permission folder and it is ok. Here is my .htaccess : ##################################################### # READ THIS COMPLETELY IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE THIS FILE # # The line just below this section: 'Options +FollowSymLinks' may cause problems # with some server configurations. It is required for use of mod_rewrite, but may already # be set by your server administrator in a way that dissallows changing it in # your .htaccess file. If using it causes your server to error out, comment it out (add # to # beginning of line), reload your site in your browser and test your sef url's. If they work, # it has been set by your server administrator and you do not need it set here. # ##################################################### ## Can be commented out if causes errors, see notes above.

Is there something wrong ? Thanks in advance for your quick help. Regards.

You can try to comment Options +FollowSymLinks line by adding # before it. Can you write the permissions of gtranslate folder and subfolders and files in it? What is your domain name?

I tried uncomment, but still the same. Folder and subfolder of cache are 777, and there are no files inside the subfolder... You can check this here Thanks for your help

I think that you have also changed gtranslate folder permissions and files permissions inside it. Try to delete everything and upload again, then change only cache and subfolders permissions to 777.

Ok things are ging better... I think that my problem was because I forgot to download the "info.php" file But now, when I try to change the language, nothing happens. No error, but no translation too... I set the site language to french in admin, but when I choose a language on the site I see that he consider defaut language as english. Thanks in advance for your help, I think we are on the good way

Check gtranslate/config.php file. What do you have there for MAIN_LANG?

One more issue solved ! I think the biggest bug is me... There is still a problem on translation. Only some part of page are translated. For example, this page. It should be in english, but the main text is still in french ?!

I've just checked and can see this error: "Daily Limit Exceeded". It seems that you have exceeded your Translate API usage limits. You need to fix that issue from https://code.google.com/apis/console/ Currently not all the users get courtesy limit from Google. Google is making it's API commercial. So there are 3 options: 1. Pay Google and use their API 2. Use free Bing Translator instead (you can find how to enable Bing from gtranslate/config.php file) 3. Use Google translate without API, for that you need to use this rewrite rules instead: # gtranslate config RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/(.*)$ /$1/$3 [R=301,L] RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)$ /$1/ [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/(.*)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1&url=$2&force_no_api=1 [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)$ /gtranslate/translate.php?lang=$1&force_no_api=1 [L,QSA]
