title: "mc.local is currently unable to handle this request" not able to find issue for error 500?
body: <p>I am trying to setup a local environment for work in a Wordpress project. The server is running in a VM under Vmware Workstation and has CentOS 6.7, PHP 7.0.3, Apache 2.2.15 and MariaDB 10.0.23. </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>I have Apache configured to work with VirtualHost, this is the one for the Wp Site:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
      ServerName mc.local
  
      DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mischiquiticos/site
      DirectoryIndex index.php
  
      &lt;Directory /var/www/html/mischiquiticos/site&gt;
          Options FollowSymLinks
          AllowOverride All
          Order allow,deny
          Allow from all
      &lt;/Directory&gt;
  
      ErrorLog logs/mc.local-error_log
      CustomLog logs/mc.local-access_log combined
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  </code></pre></li>
  <li><p>I have configured WP to log every error using <code>WP_DEBUG</code> constant:</p>
  
  <pre><code>define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
  define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
  define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
  @ini_set( 'display_errors', 0 );
  define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', false );
  define( 'SAVEQUERIES', true );
  </code></pre></li>
  <li><p>Since I am calling the site from a Windows host (where the Vmware is installed) then I have added this line to <code>C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts</code> file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>192.168.3.120   mc.local
  </code></pre></li>
  <li><p>Finally I setup directory permissions &amp; owner as follow:</p>
  
  <pre><code>chown -R apache:root /var/www/html/mischiquiticos &amp;&amp; find /var/www/html/mischiquiticos -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 2775 &amp;&amp; find /var/www/html/mischiquiticos -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0664
  </code></pre></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Having that info here comes the problem: any time I try the URL <code>http://mc.local</code> I run into a 500 error with the following message: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>mc.local is currently unable to handle this request</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Obviously something is wrong but I am not able to find what is failing since:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><code>/var/log/httpd/logs/mc.local-error_log</code> => isn't logging anything meaning file is 0 bytes</li>
  <li><code>/var/log/php_errors.log</code> => isn't logging anything meaning file is 0 bytes</li>
  <li><code>/var/www/html/mischiquiticos/site/wp-content/debug.log</code> => the file isn't being created</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>My first though was PHP version since it's new and Wordpress could not support it but the funny about this is I have 4 wordpress sites running on the same server and all of them work so PHP version is not the issue.</p>
  
  <p>I am out of ideas on this so I need some new ones in order to find where the issue is, any idea? What else I could do in order to get some helpful info?</p>
