title: Odd, nondescript error [an error occurred while processing this directive]
body: <p>I have been migrating a client's website from a Bluehost account to my own cPanel/WHM setup. I used the cPanel 'Backup Wizard' to create the export .tar (composed of home directory and mysql files, amoung some other things...) I suppose it's possible this is the problem, except that I didn't use the wizard to import the information, I just uploaded the tar.gz and untarred via SSH.</p>
  
  <p>Whenever trying to access any php file, the following nondescript error prints into the php file, here's the file source:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!-- SHTML Wrapper - 500 Server Error --&gt;
  [an error occurred while processing this directive]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have seen <strong>ALOT</strong> of errors. However, in 8 years, I have never seen this error. I've spent hours trying to kill the process, re-upload the files, restarting all services. Nobody in my office has seen this error either.</p>
  
  <p>Here's the log error: (some information removed from error, such as php address and remote pathing)</p>
  
  <pre><code>[Thu Feb 11 02:58:23 2010] [error] [client 00.000.0.0] SoftException in Application.cpp:367: Mismatch between target UID (535) and UID (534) of file "/home/site/public_html/index.php"
  </code></pre>
