Simplepie Core for WordPress 500 Error
by me on Jul.18, 2008, under Technology
This error kept appearing when I was trying to install some RSS aggregation plugins for WordPress. Well I couldn’t figure out what this was occuring. So into debug mode I went.
I’m not seeing any native code errors. So I drill down and discover I’m running PHP4 with the usual plugins. So that all seems fine. But I figure, what the hell I can just point the PHP handler to the PHP5 instance that’s installed. So I set the .htaccess to:
# PHP5
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
That solved the problem, so I assume that there was an extension that wasn’t working properly in the 4.x instance of php.
