500 Internal Server Error After Magento Installation
 Add to Favourites
|   (3 rating, 3 votes) Loading ... |
Internal Server Errors – don’t they just make your heart sink. You’ve installed Magento step by step, and you think everything has been done perfectly, but unfortunately when you load the site you get a white screen whch gives the classic 500 error. I had this when I attempted to install this on the multiple site installation for Bright Light Media, however the solution is simple.
It’s all down to permissions, as you need to make certain folders in your Magento installation writeable. With your FTP, ensure you make set the following files/folders to either 755 or 777.
/app/
/app/etc
/magento/
/media/
/var/
/index.php
If you action the permission change on the above folders, this should successfully solve the Internal Server Error problem and your website should display OK.

Be aware, after update of magento check the URLS of the site. Sometimes .htaccess is overriden. So you need to back upt it befor any upgrade.
Hi,
I saw your post about permission having got the 500 page after the first step of the installer from the page http://www.alloywheelrims.co.uk/downloader/
all was well (after adding php.ini files to increase memory) and then press nest step……500.
Anyway, changed the permissions as above and still no joy.
My PHP info say this: http://www.alloywheelrims.co.uk/php_info.php
Could you give me a pointer?
Thanks
Hi Great post thanks for the info.
In my case it was not about the permissions, it was about the htaccess override.
Just needed to change the rewrite base from /magento/ to / and it worked again.
But for some minutes my heartbeat was “a bit higher” then usual
