"NetworkError: 500 Internal Server Error on admin page, before setup

[simon13]

Simon,

this error means a lot, it is not significant for a specific error but error report for many causes
you did not attach your phpinfo

so: as it is a local server:

why not delete the complete installation, unzip again and install again?
it will take only 5 minutes

Oups, then something went wrong when I sent my phpInfo file . I'll try again after coffee. As for reinstalling, I tried twice, ounce in /home/user/public_html and ounce in /var/www/html. I still get the same issue. I know it has to do with my test server config. I just unzipped the package to the production server and everything worked fine.
I also looked over Google for few hours before sending the request. I don't usually bother people before reading the manual
