More information please?

Here are some wild guesses for you. Are you using htaccess to set php config variable? Using cgi script? Upload something in binary by accident?

ok basically its come up while using mambo....

any page that is linked to in a pop-up window comes through with that error.

Most of the time when I have had the internal error it is due to permissions not being correct.
Check your error log as it is a big help.

I run about 4 different mambo sites on my domains, no issues with pop-ups at all.

One thought, when you install Mambo, theres settings that you need to set for addins so that new files are created with the permissions, that might be set wrong, so if this popup is being generated by a mambo plugin then you will need to go into the installed directory for that plugin and check those permission and in the admin panel to check the CHMOD paramaters for new files.

I don't know much about mambo myself, but have you tried posting this on the mambo forums?

Be sure to mention that the server you are on has phpSuExec enabled.

Did you chmod any folders/files to 777? You do not usually need to chmod on the dathorn servers, because they have phpSuExec.

Looking at your error log under cPanel will be the most informative thing.
It should tell you what the problem is to the exact file.

My guess is the same as many here, you have incorrect file permissions set.
Any folders set to 777 should be 755. No files should be greater than 755 either. Ideally you'd want them at 644.
