EC2 Caching Code and Server Error 500

I started to mess around with the EC2 “Micro Instance” for a new site i’m working on. I put on an ubuntu lamp server and loaded up our favorite php framework and started along the coding path.

One frustrating thing i’m finding is whenever I make a mistake开发者_如何学Go coding (which is rare! j/k), it gives my a “Server Error 500” and won’t display the php error line number or the helpful references to where the mistake might have happened.

Also when ever an error does appear and I try to fix the mistake it will remain the same for a couple of minutes. Its like its caching on my system or something. If I do something like this :

echo "test" //leaving off the semicolon refresh the browser it comes up with the error. Then when I fix it:

echo "foo"; //corrected I still get the Server Error 500. Not sure if anyone else has run in to these issues. Maybe its a php.ini configuration, .htaccess configuration (i’m using Paul Irish’s HTML5Boilerplate .htaccess code), or a LAMP configuration issue. Any pointers to where the problem might lie would be a huge help.

Thanks! Steve

this has nothing to do with ec2. see php error directives in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
