Re: 500 Internal Server Error

im glad that 3.1 was better... great idea to try that version after 3.0 didnt work. Just for reference, what is your server setup, so we can hopefully see what went wrong?

Some hosting providers seem to have problems with specific rewrite rules in .htaccess, e.g. hostingsociety.com does not like RewriteRule ... [..., DPI] and returns a server error 500.

I18N, I18N Search, I18N Gallery, I18N Special Pages - essential plugins for multi-language sites.

Re: 500 Internal Server Error

The 500 Internal Server Error is a very general HTTP status code that means something has gone wrong on the web site's server but the server could not be more specific on what the exact problem is.

Re: 500 Internal Server Error

I got the same problem installing version 3.1 on our website (hosted bij dreamhost.com). Server = vindemiatrix, it runs on PHP 5.2.x FastCGI

I made a subdomain: getsimplecms.ourdomain.be (ourdomain is not the correct name, but untill it realy works i do not want te give it free to everybody) en used filezilla to upload all files and subdirectories to this subdomain.

Every file and directorie (so not only the data-directory) has 755 as folder permissions.

When I go to getsimplecms.ourdomain.be it shifts to getsimplecms.ourdomain.be/admin/install.php and the HTTP-error 500 (Internal Server Error) appairs.

The same happens when I go straight to getsimplecms.ourdomain.be/admin/install.php.

What should I do to get passed this error and start the installation?

Re: 500 Internal Server Error

as subdomains mostly point to a subdirectory of the main domain (correct me if I am wrong), I suggest to install GetSimple in that subdirectory

when installation is finished, go to settings and change the URL in the settings
check whether RewriteBase in gsconfig.php needs to be modified

that is at least how I installed other systems which should "pop up" in subdomains not in subdirectories
