500 Internal Server Error on install

[Lobotaman]

All,

I had the very same problem. Made me so mad and didn't make any sense because I had just downloaded it from one server where it was working and moved it to another server. Then I got this error.

MY PROBLEM WAS that my ftp program did not get the eight ( .htaccess files from the original server.

THE SOLUTION WAS that I got all eight ( of the .htaccess files directly from the original downloaded zip file and put them un-altered in the proper directories that each of them was designed for.

IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER my problem was resolved and everything worked fine.

Hope this helps someone, plenty of folks have helped me.

Best regards,

Lobo

Thank you so much. Initially I tried both ftp and the tar file, both gave me the same error. This time I used the tar file, but then uploaded .htaccess files from rc2 and that worked!

Thanks again!
