Im getting ready to migrate my site from a local in house server (Windows/IIS6) to a hosting company running Linux/cPanel. This question is probably a very novice one but here goes. I have uploaded a clean version of v1.3.6 to my hositng company and am unable to get in to the zc_install folder. I can get to a test.php file I placed at the root though.
I get a "500 The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request" whenever I try and access any file in the zc_install directory even after setting permissions to 777 on the folder and all files inside.
Now, I have not repointed my domain name name servers to said hosting company yet and Im guessing this may be the issue but I do have a static IP. I am trying to do an install by going to the IP address/zc_install/index.php so that I can learn cPanel a bit before I actually migrate my site.

Am I dead int he water unless I migrate my Name servers to the hosting company or could there possibly be something else happening here Im not aware of???

Thanks
