can you use plesk or confixx, there you have a link to your hosting log file

normally it is placed in /var/log/apache2/error.log

if you dont know, ask your hosting provider

problem solved. my hosting provider told me this.In the .htaccess file located in the script folder I found the directive "Options" which is not allowed on our servers since the symlinks are already enabled by default. I have disabled it by adding the symbol # at the beginning of the line and now your script is accessible.

Encountering an "Error 500" during a fresh installation on a Legion Private Servers indicates an internal server problem that prevents proper communication between your client and the server. To troubleshoot, check the server's configuration, database setup, and ensure all necessary files are correctly in place. If the issue persists, consult the server's community or support for assistance.
