500 Internal Server Error on WordPress and 1&1 Hosting

published Friday, January 6th, 2012 at 7:41 pm by admin
I just experience the 500 internal server error in WordPress.  When opening some of the plugin setting pages the server responded with a “500 Internal Server Error”.  This happens randomly when clicking on links in the admin panel.  The problem turns out to be PHP running out of memory.

If you are running your own root, dedicated or virtual server this is an easy bugfix by changing the php.ini of your server and provide more memory to your PHP installation.  However, on a shared hosting server – like my hosting at 1&1 you often don’t have access to that central php.ini.  Lucky for you, there is a workaround.

Create a text file and name it “php.ini” and with a single line of code in it:

memory=20MB

Upload this file (php.ini) into the directory /wp-admin/ within your WordPress installation.  What an easy fix that was.

iPhone 4 Deals from RadioShack

published Sunday, December 5th, 2010 at 9:48 am by techbytes

RadioShack is offering $50 discount on the iPhone 4 and $125 if you trade-in your iPhone 3GS. This offer is running now until December 11 only at RadioShack retail stores and only if you qualify.  You can check to see if you qualify using their eligiblility check system.  The fine print on this deal is you have to pay the sales tax on the list price of the iPhone 4.   I guess it’s not much of a deal if you have to pay the sales tax on the list price of the iPhone 4 which is around $599.

Read more on the deal at the LA Times

iPhone 4 Press Conference

published Friday, July 16th, 2010 at 12:30 pm by techbytes

After reading some snippets from the iPhone 4 press conference, doesn’t look like Apple will recall the product. Jobs ranting on about how the smartphones aren’t perfect and naming a few other makers of smartphones including HTC Droid Eris, Blackberry Bold 9700, and Samsung Omnia all having the same antenna problems.

It’s official, Apple is giving out free bumper cases and if users are still not happy, then they can return the phone for a full refund.  He says no restocking fee either.  I can see the media is going to have a field day with this seeing how Jobs didn’t outright admit that there is a problem with the antenna.  I think Jobs puts out the fire but you know the media will want to keep the flame burning.  :)

Droid X available today both online and in Verizon Wireless stores

published Thursday, July 15th, 2010 at 9:43 am by techbytes

Timing is everything, as is the case for the launch of Droid X today.  With Consumer Reports not recommending users to buy the iPhone 4 to the HTC EVO and HTC Incredible remaining out of stock, Droid X should get a boost in sales even though Verizon did very little to market the highly touted next generation Motorola “Droid Does” smartphone.  I passed by a Verizon Wireless store this morning on Lexington Ave between 54th and 55th Street and saw a sign on the window stating “Droid X in stock”.

I am happy with my Nexus One but who knows what will happen when my AT&T contract ends a year from now.  By then, I’m sure there will be a plethora of smartphones and the pain will be in deciding which one to go with.  Until then…

Check out the Droid X…
