Every time that a 500 Internal Server Error occurs, you should take the guidance in that error literally: You should contact the system administrator of the hosting environment to report the real error to you. Internally something went wrong, and as long as the real error is not fetched, everybody will be clueless.

These types of problems specifically occur in hosting environments that use some kind of CGI-interface to PHP (CGI, FCCGI, FastCGI, suPHP). It could be that something went wrong on the configuration-level, but it might also be that PHP encountered some kind of PHP Fatal Error. In all cases, fetching the actual log from the logfiles is vital. Note that - unless you have root-privileges - it is likely that you don't have access to these log-files. Therefor, contact the hosting provider.

Here are the three most common reasons why you found 500 Internal Server Error:

1. File permissons set incorrectly.
One common cause for a 500 Internal Server Error are the file permissions of PHP-scripts. In general, all files for MageBridge should have the same file permissions as the other Joomla! files and/or Magento files. A 500-error might be thrown if the file permissions are considered to be dangerous: The execution bit should never be used on PHP-files (755 or 777 or something alike), but some servers also object against the PHP-file being world-writable (666 or 777). File permissions like these can be set either through SSH or FTP.

Another common cause of PHP Fatal Errors that again might generate Internal Server Errors, is that the PHP memory limit (memory_limit) is too low. You should make sure your Joomla! site meet up with the minimum requirements of MageBridge.

How you should modify the PHP configuration accordingly, again depends on the hosting environment and you should contact your hosting provider about this. It might be that you can add PHP-directives to your htaccess-files, but it might also be that you need a separate php.ini file somewhere.

2. Leaving file permissions set incorrectly after manual installation of content management systems, forums, blogs, etc.

3. Coding errors in the .htaccess file.

The best and most easy way to detect error 500 is to check out the error reporting that is generated by your website:

method 1:
1. Log in to the administrator back end in Joomla and than go to the Global configuration option.
2. Than select server tab
3. got to the error reporting option
4. Change this to maximum to get full version
5. click on save button

Method 2:
To track down what is causing the error, you will want to start with the error log in Control Panel. Once you are logged into your Control Panel look for and click on the "Error Log" icon under "Logs."

log_errors = On
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED
display_errors = On

Microdata is quickly becoming a must-have tool for site developers that want to improve their overall SEO strategy. By using Microdata tags, sites can tell search engines what type of content is being presented.

Let’s say you want to feature a movie on your site somewhere, and you would like to let the search engine know that you are listing a movie, as well as some important information about it.

Enter Microdata tags. These let search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo know that people searching for that particular movie might find your site useful. If anything, it makes it a lot more clear to their crawlers what the content on your site is about, so it can better determine how you fit in the results.

Microdata is more accurate than traditional metadata because it is content specific, not page specific. You can tag individual blocks of text differently, making a clear difference between a person’s name, their address, and a recipe for lobster ravioli.

Microdata has been one of the top features requested for Joomla! from marketers!

Developers will now be able to incorporate microdata more easily into their extensions and sites. From automating the Author tag in articles, to generating detailed markup for directories of information, the microdata library will significantly enhance how you can optimise SEO with Joomla!

Going Big on SEO & Better visibility in Search Engine results with MicroData

Joomla’s new microdata library, being released in Joomla 3.3, is going to significantly change how search engines can interpret the information you have on your site. The addition of microdata is one of the most significant SEO improvements since the release of Joomla 3.

When search engines process pages for indexing in their databases, they usually don’t know what the context of the text on the site is. Context is extremely important in delivering the correct information to end users.  For instance when you have ‘Avatar’ on a page, how does the search engine know whether its being referenced as an image avatar or the movie avatar, or just a regular image?

Microdata takes the guesswork out of this for the search Engines. Microdata places markup code inside your content that the search engine can read, and then rather than just indexing words, it can apply a context to them to identify features within the content.

This then lets the search engines identify things like who your article authors are, details about your business as a place, or details about events in your calendar on the site.

The next great benefit of using microdata is the ability to create Rich Snippets. Rich Snippets allows you to configure your content to show up as specially formatted data in search engine results. For example you can configure microdata on reviews and ratings on your site so that they then appear as part of the snippet when the search engine result is displayed.

How to use the JMicrodata library?

To use the new microdata semantics library you need to make an instance of the library in your extensions.

EXAMPLE:

        $microdata = new JMicrodata('Article');

So let's suppose that we have the following string:

        Written by ASPHostPortal Web Hosting

And we need to add an author property:

        echo 'Written by' . $microdata->content(“ASPHostPortal Web Hosting”)->property('author')->fallback('Person', 'name')->display();
   
The library will display:

        Written by
        <span itemprop='author' itemscope itemtype='https://yourdomain.com'>
            <span itemprop='name'>
                ASPHostPortal Web Hosting
            </span>
        </span>
   
What happens if the current scope is something other than 'Article', for example a 'Product' scope, and the current scope doesn't have an author property?
Well it will fall back in:

        <span itemscope itemtype='https://yourdomain.com'>
            <span itemprop='name'>
                ASPHostPortal Web Hosting
            </span>
        </span>       

If we want to disable the microdata semantics output?
You can simply disable the microdata output:

        $microdata->enable(false);
