Can't install

[Mnementh]

Hi all,

I followed the install.txt, but get 500 internal server error (plus a 404 not found) when I call on install.php.

I tried with a config.php in the main directory of the cms, without - no difference.

Any ideas?

Hi again,

still can't install, uploaded the files several times and tried to no avail.

Is there some known problem which I might investigate?

This definitely isn't a known problem.  Are you running any other php apps on that server as well?  Because 500 errors almost sound like configuration problems to me.

Hm..... old thread but just in case someone else will be searching for the same thing, as just happened to me today: I had the same problem and it was solved by removing these three lines from .htaccess file:

Code: Select all

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
php_flag register_globals Off
php_flag session.use_trans_sid Off 

Not sure if that was the only culprit, but when I retest now, adding these lines turns my site back to 500. Might also have something to do with server config - I was running Hatutu version and all of a sudden, it just stopped working and started giving 500's, so by that point I also decided to upgrade to the lates Fiji version, which didn't solve the problem, but the above .htaccess change did.

Moreover, from the admin panel of your hosting account, try to look at the last error messages, it might give you more clue.

as for me, I have got 500 error due to wrong permissions to folders (775 instead of 755) after extracting archive via c-panel

error 500 problems really need access to server logs, it can be anything ranging from running out of free diskspace to having some weird permissions..
