General Questions/New to Joomla! 5.x • Re: 500 Internal Server Error out of the blue

A link to your working J3 site doesn't help us track down problems with your J5 Error 500.

Not that it might help much because I'm currently running the site on a Joomla 3 backup, but here it is:
https://artglassandmetal.com/

What we need is the actual error, which can be obtained by turning on Debug and/or PHP error reporting.

Those settings are active according to the FPA report : Error Reporting: maximum | Site Debug: true, so if you had been able to post the errors seen on screen in J5,we'd have a better sense of what was going on.

Isn't that what I included in my second post?

It would be easier to change file permissions in an FTP program - CHMOD the folders 755 and files 644, and the configuration.phgp to 444.

I use Transmit on a Mac for FTP, and I looked for a batch permissions function but didn't see anything for files, only for enclosed folders. Anyhow I remember reading somewhere that it was best to handle permissions directly on the server rather than via FTP, but maybe that was bad info?

In any case as I mentioned above, I had a J5 backup that I restored. It was three weeks old so I had to make a few tweaks to it to bring it up to date, so all is good now.
