Hi,

when I enable the HTML plugin, my fresh Joomla installation seems to crash. I get server error 500. Maybe anything I missed to install?

kind regards

Hello,

could you please provide some more info about the problem, i.e. what errors do you get in the error log, or do you get a similar error with other types of videos (YouTube, Vimeo, ...) as well?

If other videos don't work either, then the problem could be with the Videobox config, go to Plugins -> System - Videobox and make sure all settings are properly set.

Where can I find the error log? Sorry I am new with Joomla, just installed it on my webspace.

That depends on the server you're using. Here are some of the most common ones:

wamp: C:\wamp\logs
xampp: C:\xampp\php\logs\php_error_log
Ubuntu / Debian: /var/log/apache2/error.log
managed / shared hosting: look for error log icon on the control panel

Error log file may be specified in Joomla! admin: System -> System info -> PHP info -> error_log, however that value often isn't set.

Hi,

using a .user.ini I was able to get this error message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /hp/aa/ad/qb/www/riedochs.com/plugins/videobox/html5/html5.php on line 232

It seems you're using PHP 5.3 or earlier, which doesn't support array dereferencing. PHP versions prior to 5.6 are no longer supported (see PHP - supported versions), so please update to a more recent version.
