    Brand new install on host. No previous installs, plugins, themes. Latest PHP and MySQL. On Windows with PHP. Using sub directors. Nothing in Error File. Same “500 – Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.” message if I attempt to use the Admin file. Have also attempted to remove everything and do a new install with the same results. Thanks for any help. Rick

    Are you saying that the apache/nginx error log is not showing anything? You should at the very least be able to find the 5xx response in there – that may give you a clue. Also check your php.ini file and see where PHP is configured to send its error_log.

    I do not think a Windows environment has an Apache error log. The Windows error log I could not find any 5xx response in. I’m not sure where the php.ini file is on the Windows system. Sorry.

    Ask your hosts for assistance with accessing your site’s error log.

    Managed to look at the log – here is the line

    2013-01-28 11:25:18 W3SVC155 LACIE 216.97.238.105 GET /blog/wp-admin/install.php – 80 – 24.23.113.79 HTTP/1.1 Mozilla/5.0+(Macintosh;+Intel+Mac+OS+X+10_8_2)+AppleWebKit/536.26.17+(KHTML,+like+Gecko)+Version/6.0.2+Safari/536.26.17 __atuvc=0%7C1%2C12%7C52%2C10%7C3%2C46%7C4%2C6%7C5;+__utma=1.992412131.1342664617.1342664617.1342664617.1;+_gauges_unique=1;+_gauges_unique_year=1 – fullmoonmeditations.com 500 0 0 1536 515 6443

    which does not help me, but may explain something to someone else. Thanks. Rick

    I added the following to the config file in an attempt to find where the error is:

    @ini_set('log_errors','Off');
@ini_set('display_errors','On');
@ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL );
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', false);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true);

    there still is no error. It just cannot find a file. The only thing that I can think of is that on a Window machine I need to change the paths. Perhaps the:

    /** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
	define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');

    needs to be changed. Or perhaps more. Any ideas? Thanks. Rick

    I put in a ticket to my ISP. It turned out that I had put in the wrong password. Fixed now.
