500 Internal Server Error

[KnooL]

Hello all,

 

I've recently tried to install vBulletin onto my domain, and therefore an error acquired when accessing the install page (can't access any page)

 

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@mcrp.heliohost.org and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Apache/2.2.15 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.15 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 mod_mono/2.6 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_bwlimited/1.4 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_wsgi/3.2 Python/2.4.3 Server at mcrp.heliohost.org Port 80

 

And in the error log:

[Fri May 28 06:32:24 2010] [error] [client **.***.***.**] File does not exist: /home/****/public_html/500.shtml

 

Now, I don't see why this is showing up. I tried to set CHMOD to 777 of the install folder, and remove all the existing files and unzip my vBulletin again.

 

Also (http://www.helionet.org/index/index.php?showtopic=6325) there seems to be no .HTACCESS (?) in my www folder.

 

Cheers, KnooL

 

Edit:

 

After creating this thread, the problem seems to have magically solved.

You don't need permissions 777 on a folder. 755 will be adequate.

There shouldn't be any files inside ypur www folder. All files should go in your public_html folder. Your www will reflect what is in the public_html folder.

Great!
