I've spent a week searching the forums and trying several methods and I've no more ideas. I have a drupal 7 installation on my domain with 2 subdomains because I want to do a multi-site install.

My main install is working fine: www.idealiner.com
Then my subdomain http://metrosleep.idealiner.com - created as sites/metrosleep.idealiner.com/ in the main install, returns this....

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I'm almost 100% sure the subdomain was created correctly and that it's a problem of htaccess or php.ini, but beyond that I don't know. I've been able to do pretty much anything on my host (Hostrocket), but maybe this is where my luck stops :( Any help is appreciated.

Regards,
Mark

I've had this kind of error 500 problem with D7. For me it was because the Multiviews Option was not explicitly set in the Apache directory for my subdomain. AllowOverride Options=All is not enough, you must add "Multiviews". I had found the solution with this post : http://mathiasbynens.be/notes/apache-allowoverride-all. Hope it will help.
