If I try to install the forum V2.2.3 I get an error 500:internal server error after step 1.

I don't know whats the reason for that, but is there a way to install the forum on a different server and simply copy the files to the new one?

Or any other solution?

Thnx in advance, HS.

Yes, php is running as cgi.(and because it is not my own server I can not change it - if that is important)

Check your error log from the webserver see why error 500 is occuring, it could be a configuration problem.

Sorry I have no access to the error logs. Only to the access and ftp logs, but that doesn't help.

So is it possible to install the forum on my local Apache and transfer it via FTP to the other webserver? And what do I have to change for that in what config file?

Hope there is a way, HS.

Okay, I have it now done the following way:

- Installed the forum on my local server
- Copied all files and DB tables to the public webserver
- changed the GLOBALS.PHP, adm/GLOBALS.PHP and data/include/globals.php
- rebuilded the default theme

Now it looks like it is working fine ... so far.

CU, HS.

Hello HS-78,

I have the same problem. Error 500 occurs directly after entry of the server-paths...
I don't have access to the error-logs as well.
My PHP 4.1.1 works fine. phpinfo() says:

The other hints concerning error 500 in the installation issues forum didn't work for me, although my provider has the same setting as holger.linge's puretec in thread:Step 1: Error 500. Maybe I didn't understand the solution provided there.

I will try your approach.

Error 500 is a CGI error that most likely the result of php-cgi not being configured correctly.

I read a bit and realized that my provider allows max. 6 secs of cpu-time for a script.
Could this be the obstacle of my installation?

They allow me to run scripts for a longer period in a protected area. But this area is not interactive. It's like a command line. You have to specify the script and the input. Afterwards the output or error is presented.

My question:
Is there a possibility to make all entries for the install script in advance in a config file or to define the variables somewhere inside install.php?

  • In this case I could use the aforementioned special area of my provider.
  • Such an option would also allow for unattended setup.

Thank you very much for your answer.

To HS-78,

did you encounter any problems running the forum after your successfull "work-around" installation?

I appreciate your reply.

I contacted HS-78 directly. He told me, that the forum works o.k. since 6 months already.

That could indeed be a problem, depending on the speed of the machine certain steps like file decompression & theme compiling MAY take longer then 6 seconds to execute.
