Hi @philip.c.liang,

Can you give us more information about your issue? Are you running a custom PHP application on your server? If so, which one?

Apart from the above, we have a Support Tool that will gather relevant information for us to analyze your configuration and logs. Could you please execute it on the machine where the stack is running by following the steps described in the guide below?

The page gets stuck in a loading animation before I get the error.

Hi @philip.c.liang,

The issue does not seem related to the Bitnami configuration. I found the following post that could help you further:

I tried that and I still have the issue.

The problem is specific to this server. When I host this on other servers it works fine.

Hi @philip.c.liang,

Could you try removing the underscore from _beginParticipant.php?

That URL is fixed by some else's code.

Hi @philip.c.liang,

It looks like you are getting errors related to your custom application. We couldn't check the Apache error log because it is too big for the bnsupport tool, can you check the error messages there?

/opt/bitnami/apache2/logs/error_log

We also recommend you to ask the application developers for help on this.
