Hi everyone,
i just started using both xampp and zencart and i have followed all the installation prompts and have created my database.

i have checked usernames and password and everything seems to be fine but when i try and get into the admin side of the site i always get the message:

500 internal server error

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

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] 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.


also the css isnt working but that is a side issue.

any help would be awesome

Cheers
