I am receiving a 500 Internal Server Error on installation when I get to the System Setup page. It doesn't matter how I configure it, with or without SSL, and I do have SSL working, or if I even hit the "redetect defaults for this host" button - then I get this error page. It is alomost like there is a syntax problem in the script?? Any ideas are appreciated.
That doesn't make sense. Why would lessening the accessibility and writability to the configure files help? Anyway, I did that, and can't get past the prerequisites page now, because it sees that it cannot write to those files.
Nathan,
the reason to see if lessining the permissions would fix the issue, was to determine if php was set to run as cgi,
IF so than permissions of 644 are machine (User ) Writable
and setting a file or folder to be global writable will cause a security error,
this is meant to protect your files and folders from the little jack@$$es that think its funny to screw up a site..
All of our servers are set this way.
