[SOLVED] 500 server eror when access admin page

[stevegos]

Hi, I have just installed version 1.2. The install went fine and the front end appears fine but when viewing the admin login I get a 500 internal server error... listed below...

I have installed cmsms several times now and always fine but this is the first install with 1.2. Its on a LAMP based server.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Steve

Some of the usual culprits, and places to look.

- Problem with the .htaccess file
- Permissions
- corrupt files

You could try uploading the files again, perhaps only the admin folders, since that's where the problem is.
If you are using an .htaccess file, post it here, so we can have a look.

looking at the apache logs it says "premature end of script headers"

so yes maybe a corrupt upload. i will try your suggestions and let you know.

yes I am using a .htaccess file as I needed to enter some php values to satify the install requirements.

Many thanks, Steve

Hello,

I agree with the possible corrupt upload. Beware the admin side uses files outside of /admin like /lib, so it is better to reupload everything from scratch.

SOLVED...

I copied the php.ini from the root into the /admin folder.

I've installed cmsms many times and never had to do this before.

Thanks for all your help.
