Finally did manual install on 3.2.1 and now 500 Error

  • I have been having issues with updating my wordpress blog. After trying several different things to get the auto install to work, I decided to finally go through and do a manual install. I followed the directions explicitly and even went though several youtube instructions to make sure I did it right. Now I’m getting this:

    —————————————-
    Internal Server Error

    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

    Please contact the server administrator, webmaster and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

    More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

  • Try to locate your web server’s error log (assuming that you’re using some kind of a control panel to manage your hosting account, you can most likely find it there), attempt to load the WordPress URL again and look at the most recent lines in your error log.

    If you cannot make sense of these, post them here to get assistance. Without this kind of information, we cannot tell you what’s wrong with your particular installation.

    These are the errors I’m getting from the log currently:

    File does not exist: /home/jac/public_html/404.shtml,
    File does not exist: /home/jac/public_html/favicon.ico,
    File does not exist: /home/jac/public_html/500.shtml
    /home/jac/public_html/blog/.htaccess: Invalid command ‘suPHP_ConfigPath’, perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

    Check the permissions of files and folders they need to be folders 755 files 644 ask your host if they can help

    The first 3 lines have nothing to do with WordPress. but you might want to contact your hosts about that last error.

    That the error pages and favicon.ico cannot be found isn’t a critical problem, but the last line indicates that there’s a problem with your PHP script execution.

    Apparently, you configured your .htaccess file for mod_suphp, but this isn’t being used (or not properly configured) on your server. So that’s really something your host should help you with.

    make sure that the ‘Fast CGI’ function is off for your PHP version on your hosting options. This has caused alot of problems. hope that helps.
