500 Error after accepting terms from install

Hello,
Any idea where to go? I get the following error when click on continue after accepting terms in install. configure.php is setup correctly.

Thanks:lamo:

http://riveroflifehealthresort.com/store/ is where I'm installing. :mellow:

I did an info.php check and got API server CGI. Does this matter?

you need to go in and set the folders that you changed to 777 back to 755
and the files that you changed back to 644

once install is done you will need to set configure.php files to 444

Shouldn't this error message be a part of the install itself?

ok
I'm reinstalling zencart
I'll try that change, but don't you change that configure.php back to 755 after install? I would think you need to right to the files during install.:cool:

not if you r running php as cgi

this will cause the 500 error, since php as cgi dosnt allow 777

oh:frusty:
I wish i didn't delete it yet. I'm in process of uploading zen cart again. Will this fix the php cgi issue?

Yes,
as soon as you get all the files uploaded, DONT change any permissions,
just run the installer,

Well still does not work. Played around it for some time. So I put zencart on another host. I found a thought in help section about if host not working with PHP as CGI correctly, to get another host. It work first time install on new host. Now a problem arises. The new host does not have SSL and I want to use Google Check Out (cheaper than Paypal), but it requires https:// so I need to tell zencart on new host to point to Google Check Out on old host SSL link. I have put this issue in another post about shipping and module issues. Any ideas?
