I have a couple of hopefully quick questions. First, I hope I am not blind. I have been searching high and low and trying to avoid embarrasing myself by asking - but what is the proper way to create a preset. I don't see any links for a blank one. What I have been doing is canabalizing existing ones (which may indeed be the source of all my frustrations to begin with).
Second, I am trying to learn how to code presets. I'm not doing anything totally difficult to start out with (adding pieces, emptying squares, the say and echo commands, etc.). I've done some work on a preset, but now whenever I try to update/save/run/test, it loads for 3-5 minutes and then comes up with a page that states this:
A 500 error has occured
500 errors are generally caused by one of the following two problems.
1) A bad entry in the site .htaccess file, if you are the webmaster try logging into your cPanel, and use the file manager to rename your .htaccess file if this fixes the error you should then check the contents of the .htaccess file / roll back any recent changes.
2) A php error / code error also causes a 500 error, you can try enabling 'PHP display_errors' by following this guide Enable Display errors
If after trying both of the above solutions and you are still seeing the 500 error please do contact support"
I don't understand a word of it lol. The rest of the site works fine so I'm wondering what if that is becuase my coding is bad, if the site is experiencing technical trouble on that side of it, or if it is because I'm canabalizing a preset. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
