CMSMS 500 Internal server error when trying to access .xlsx

In my file manager i have 4 files.

test.php
data.inc.php
include.inc.php
sample.xlsx

test.php uses a get call to both data.inc.php and include.inc.php to read data from sample.xlsx.

When hosting these files from xampp they work perfectly but when hosting from CMSMS data.inc.php and include.inc.php both return "500 Internal server error"

Can anyone shed some light on what may be happening here i have not been able to uncover anything in my research.

EDIT i am using the following the user defined tag.

include 'uploads/Php/test.php';
include 'uploads/Php/include.inc.php';
include 'uploads/Php/data.inc.php';

What do the PHP error logs show? – Jamie Bicknell Jul 05 '16 at 13:51
Are you including an `.xlsx` file in your PHP code? If so, that'll be the problem as your server will be attempting to run the contents of `sample.xlsx` as PHP code. – Jamie Bicknell Jul 05 '16 at 13:53
Where can i find the error logs? – Justin Lachapelle Jul 05 '16 at 13:54
Depends on your system, but generally [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5127838/where-does-php-store-the-error-log-php5-apache-fastcgi-cpanel) – Jamie Bicknell Jul 05 '16 at 13:55
@JamieBicknell i am not including the .xlsx i am using $filename = 'uploads/Php/sample.xlsx'; to access it – Justin Lachapelle Jul 05 '16 at 13:56
The 4th line shows: `include 'uploads/Php/sample.xlsx';` so you are including it – Jamie Bicknell Jul 05 '16 at 13:57
nothing changes if i remove include 'uploads/Php/sample.xlsx'; – Justin Lachapelle Jul 05 '16 at 14:00
Please post the error(s) from the PHP error log, and edit your question with those errors. – Jamie Bicknell Jul 05 '16 at 14:00
i used '' to find the location of my error logs and the file path does not exist – Justin Lachapelle Jul 05 '16 at 14:04
