Last try to make this work (clean install 500 Error) | Forum

Chrisstoffer Nightinglam
Hi there.

I have worked actively with hosting fora via Elgg for many years. Also done some coding myself. I feel it is time to try something new with a strong Forum function to it. I have tried and tried with Oxwall, and now I must ask for help.

I get the famous 500 error on a clean install:
http://www.nordicalternatives.com/install

saying:
500 - An error occured on this web page

The error was:



I have tried all this after searching the net:

1. Read both README.TXT and INSTALL.TXT

2. Commented .htaccess

3. Made sure CHMOD was 777 on

ow_pluginfiles

ow_userfiles,

ow_static,

ow_smarty/template_c

4. Made sure CHMOD was 644 on

on index.php

5. Edited the config file:

define('OW_DEBUG_MODE', false); to true (nothing changed)

6. Made sure my host meets the requirements:

https://gigahost.dk (check bottom of page)


I don't see what else there is to do. I believe that either this is not very compatible or the bug is on your side of the table. I would love to try Oxwall and maybe even develop on it - but I am hitting my head against the wall from the very first second I try to use your script. I (and sure others) can't spend more hours/days with a new script searching online & trying with no result. I will take all advices and see what happens - if nothing, then I believe the script just isn't up to date with others like Elgg and I see myself having to go back to that.

I rewrote the .htaccess to:


RewriteEngine On AddEncoding gzip .gz AddEncoding gzip .gzip <FilesMatch "\.(js.gz|js.gzip)$"> ForceType text/javascript </FilesMatch> <FilesMatch "\.(css.gz|css.gzip)$"> ForceType text/css </FilesMatch> RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .*/http-bind RewriteRule (.*) /http-bind [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.php RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/index\.php RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_cron/run\.php RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.php|\.html|\.htm|\.xml|\.feed|robots\.txt|\.raw|/[^.]*)$ [NC] RewriteRule (.*) index.php

Has the problem been solved? or you're still experiencing problem with the installation?
