I have installed drupal 5.2, but whatever I try, when I want to go to te site, I get the following message:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, support@one.com 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.

I have gone to the url of my drupal site for the automatic configuration, but I get this error.
Then I've configured my default setting manually, same problem.
I created my database local, exported it and then imported it on my host to create the database, but still I get the same message.

Can anyone help me out?

thanks

I had the same problem and I could solve it by removing the lines:

# Don't show directory listings for URLs which map to a directory.
Options -Indexes

# Follow symbolic links in this directory.
Options +FollowSymLinks

from .htaccess in the main-drupal-folder.

Maybe it helps you, too ;)

Is your installation in the root directory or in a subdirectory? Did you upload drupal in ascii or binary mode?

You may need to edit .htaccess depending on its location. Do not edit .htaccess prematurely, because if you do you may have to do another installation, especially if you remove lines.

My installation is in a subdirectory.
For one site, it is completely in a subdirectory, for another I've pasted de index.php file to the root.

the installation is in a subdirectory, for one website: de index.php is pasted to the root, for another website: everything is in a the subdirectory

Have you altered the .htaccess file to indicate the base directory? it will be something like /subdomainname

Remove the # before the line, then upload and try.

I still don't manage to configure it, despite changing and trying many things in the .htaccess file. I will paste the original .htaccess file here, perhaps telling me what rules I have to change ...
I have installed the drupal map in domain www.vosseslag.be in a map named drupal and would like to access it as drupal.vosseslag.be
Under here you can find the htaccess file, what lines do I need to change to what?

thanks

i had pretty much the same problem but with another host. what i did was renamed the .htaccess to a.htaccess. then run the install script. worth a try if all else fails. :)
