Hi,
I have followed some of the following steps to enable subtheme of omega..
step1: I have downloaded Omega Base theme and enable it.. It worked fine..
step 2: I just copied the directory sites/all/themes/omega/omega to sites/all/themes/omega-new. Also Changed omega.info to omega-new.info.. Then, changed the files in the css folder.
step3: Now, After i went to my my sites Appearance, I can able to see two different themes such as omega and omega-new.
step4: Now, i selected omega-new as my default theme. Just refreshed the browser.. I can able to see, "HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request"
I also restarted apache but no solution. I pinged my hosting support and they told server is in active state..
Can somebody help why i'm getting this kind of error after enabling subtheme???

Use the starterkit
I'm not 100% sure that this would cause the problem, but in anycase making a copy of the Omega base theme is not the same as creating a sub-theme.
There will be a conflict between what you have named your theme and the name of the theme functions in template.php and the .inc files. The other problem with making a copy of a base theme this way is that you cannot update it when a new version of the base theme is released.
You should copy one of the folders in sites/all/themes/omega/starterkits to sites/all/themes/ and follow the instructions as per the documentation. This way you replace the original Omega theme folder when a new version is released and your sub-theme will benefit from the updates.
Hope that helps

You might want to download the Omega Tools module to create a sub-theme.
