Topic: ERROR 500

[jrantonio]

I can not install SP ...

Whenever I try to install my server down ...

ERROR 500

I configured the CHMOD 755 folders and 644 files in, and yet still having trouble.

He also tells me that I need to authenticate the FTP to set permissions, but I already did that.

Also this screen appears:

I do not know what else to do.

Could someone help me?

If you think you have set all the file permissions correctly but still get errors, I would ask support on your server host. Some webhosts have strange settings/configuration. I had problems once with ipage.

I would use some screenshots for support so the errors are clear to see.

After manually run the file install2.php, my error log is empty, but still keep getting the ERROR 500 when I try to install.

I do not know what else to do

What web host are you using?

Hostgator

Please have a look at this article: (particularly the last part)

http://simpleportal.net/index.php?action=docs;area=solving_install_problems

If that doesn't help you, then the only option I can suggest is to install it manually. Unfortunately I'm not very knowledgeable about solving such problems.

Well,

The solution was to install Simple Portal manually ...

I believe the problem is in the "permissions" from Hostgator, preventing the implementation of the SP.

How did the manual installation, I still have some problems, but gradually I am solving.

Thank you all and may close this topic.

I used Hostgator and it was generally ok for the cost, but there were file permissions problems.  I don't like their different account logins for domain and billing though.

Recently as 2 months ago I moved a website onto Hostgator and a free open source gallery (gallery-project). I have used it for about 8 years and not had problems moving webhost before. The server configuration wouldn't let the gallery scripts set up file permissions properly during install.
I tried using the cpanel automated setup scripts which most webhosts offer (SimpleScripts and Fantastico) and they both failed to install properly as well.
Hostgator technical support agreed there was a problem and it did get fixed, but why weren't popular free open source software packages they were providing not tested to make sure they worked?
