Hi guys, I am getting error message: Internal Server Error or Not Found

I am working with MAMP and everything was working just fine until I came to this step in course. I am getting error messages:

Not Found The requested URL /test.dev/wordpress/ was not found on this server.

or

Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, xxx@xxx.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

I am trying to change document root for another project I made, but with no success. Can you please suggest me how to fix it? Thanks!

My functions.php if it can help:

```<? php

function wpt_theme_styles() {

wp_enqueue_style( 'foundation_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/foundations.css' );

wp_enqueue_style( 'normalize_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/normalize.css' );

wp_enqueue_style( 'normalize_css', 'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Asap:400,700,400italic,700italic');

wp_enqueue_style( 'main_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );

} add_action ( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpt_theme_styles' );

function wpt_theme_js() {

wp_enqueue_script( 'modernizr_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/modernizr_js', '', '', false );
wp_enqueue_script( 'foundation_js' , get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/foundation_js', array('jquery'), '' , true );
wp_enqueue_script( 'main_js' , get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/app.js', array('jquery', 'foundation_js'), '' , true );

} add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpt_theme_js' );

?>

Would you post some screenshots of what you're doing? I might know what that is, I think I had the same few days ago.

Hi,

Try remove closing php tag "?>", it can cause many troubles like white screen, and it's often made mistake even by experienced devs. Also turn on debug mode in wp-config.php(line 80) to get more specific errors.

Hope it helps

I notice you have two "normalize.css", one should be 'googlefont_css'. where your linking to the googleapis. I commented out the normalize.css in mine but not sure why I did that. Good luck.

Try with <?php rather than <? php

I think that's "<? php" was formatted by treehouse to prevent script executing, writing php tag like that, in worst case causes "only" a parse error. Not 500

In the js function, the name of the files should be "xxx.js" instead of "xxx_js"... Also, the video forgets to make the addition to the file name: it should be 'foundation.min.js" instead of "foundation.js"
