I am transferring my websites to a new server. I transferred all of the plg related files.

After changing the root paths in plg/adminsetting.php and recommends/index.php, and jumping through hoops to get the .htaccess files uploaded, I encountered a problem when I tried to run one of the "recommends" links. It said "403 Forbidden - You don't have permission to access /plg/plg_frames.php on this server."

OK, so I changed the permissions on "recommends" folder from 755 to 777, then another problem. Now when I run that same link it now says "500 Internal Server Error - The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request."

So now what's the problem? I am considering completely reinstalling plg and then uploading the old campaigns.txt, id.txt, lifehits.txt, statistics.txt files. Any ideas?

OK, I just completely deleted all of the old plg files and recommends folder, installed it completely fresh and added the campaigns via the normal plg admin area (i.e. I did NOT upload the old campaigns.txt, etc. files like I mentioned above)

I am still getting the same 500 internal error message, so it appears that this is the same .htaccess / add-on domain problem several other people were talking about.

I need to have an .htaccess file in public_html with the command:

ErrorDocument 403 /403.shtml
ErrorDocument 404 /404.shtml
ErrorDocument 500 /500.shtml

...do I need to add some code to .htaccess files in public_html and/or the add-on domain directory and/or the plg directory, if so what is the code. I know moderator may fix it if I give login details, but can you tell me what to do myself, as I will probably want to install plg on other add-on domains in the future.

BTW, I am using the old version that excludes the plg .htaccess files.

I also seem to be having the same problem with plg in the main public_html directory, i.e. NOT an add-on domain.

Hi ,

I have fix the problem for you by just renaming the likes folder to 755. When you will get an 500 internal server error you just need to change back the permission to 755 to fix it. Please let me know if you have any other question or help.
