\n\tIf you are installing Magento and you have uploaded your Magento files to your host and just when you are about to run the Installation wizard, you get “500 Internal Server Error”. This error is because of the inappropriate file permissions.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tTo fix this error, if you are on cpanel hosting, Error Log will really help solving\/fixing this error.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tNormally changing the file permission on index.php file will solve this problem. If you check the error log in your cpanel, you will find “\/index.php” is writeable by group\n<\/p>\n
\n\tSo in your cpanel, go to File Manager and then change the file permission of index.php file from 664 to 644. Also change the permissions of downloader\/index.php file to 644 as well otherwise when you will try to access System > Magento Connect >Magento Connect Manager (after magento installation) by logging to magento admin, you will get 500 Internal Server Error.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tAnd if magento is installed in a folder e.g yourdomain.com\/magento, in this case you will also change the permission on magento folder to 644.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tYou can also fix this error using SSH by running the following command\n<\/p>\n
\n\n\t\tfind . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \\;
\n\t\tfind . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \\;\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\tThis will change the file permissions on all the folders to 755 and files to 644 and will fix the Internal Server Error.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
