Error while first start after installation

[kirillaristov]

I have installed get-simple on my new hosting, tried fist load and got 500 error..
I made little change in htaccess -
from "Options -Indexes"
to "Options -Indexes -MultiViews +FollowSymLinks"
and it resolved my error

Thanks for the info, it will be useful to people having the problem!

Were you installing in in a symblink ?
I do not understand what the problem was.

[kirillaristov]

I found root of the problem. FollowSymLinks turned off by default on my hosting.

Hi,
I have the same problem. Just after clicking install, I get a 500. I did try to add the "-MultiViews +FollowSymLinks" to the "temp.htaccess" before the installation but it does not help

how can I fix this ? Im using v3.1.2

What if you just remove that line? (or uncomment with #)

You have to check your server logs to know exactly what the 500 error is about.

[kirillaristov]

make this changes in .htaccess AFTER installation
or rename temp.htaccess to .htaccess

I tried modifying the htaccess but it doesn't help

I asked my provider to give me access to the server logs to identify the problem.

[Tex-Twil]

My provider allows only those htaccess directives: "FileInfo, Indexes, Limit and Options=Indexes".

If I remove the "Files" sections it works. It will give access to the xml files but for my usage, I can live with this.

It will give access to the xml files but for my usage, I can live with this.

If you don't remove the "deny all" .htaccess files in your data/users, data/pages, etc. you aren't giving access anyway.
