hello,
i currently try to setup 6.2 on a one.com server.
The thing is i just had joomla 1.5 installed and moved all files to a diffrent folder. Than i uploaded all 6.2 release files to the root of the server. But when i try now to access the domain i get a INTERNAL SERVER ERROR message.

Yesterday i successful installed 6.1 on a diffrent host and had no problem. Teh only diffrence was i first uploaded 6.1 release to the root and than just overwritten it with 6.2 data.

Do i need to first upload 6.1 ---> than 6.2 ?

Ideas?

Thanx,
Laura

I get the same internal server error after final step of installation and when any user registers.

I asked from my hosting service, they say it could be caused by PHP mailer built into Drupal 6rc2.
all my MySQL and PHP versions are up to date... so yep I guess it's the RC2 of Drupal6

i get a INTERNAL SERVER ERROR message.

Do you have access to the server's error log? It's a text file where error messages are written to and it may contain hints for solving the mystery.

(Another idea: maybe the .htacces file is to blame. Maybe it's the Joomla's one. Delete it and try to access 'index.php' directly.)

Hi mooffie,
thanks for the idea with htaccess if i delet it (the one from drupal) i can access the drupal 6.2 install procedure.

And i get this
Unable to determine your web server type and version. Drupal might not work properly. (Currently using Web server Apache)

Any thoughts what inside the htaccess cause this?

Thanks

You sure it was Drupal's htaccess and not a leftover from Joomla, right?

OK.

Any thoughts what inside the htaccess cause this?

I suggest you comment out the lines in this file one by one, or block by block, till the "INTERNAL SERVER ERROR" is gone. It shouldn't be hard. You may start by commenting out all lines containing "Rewrite", as they are notorious for causing troubles.

Hi mooffie,
i did exactly what you suggest but the log just contains ...access data.
The htaccss is from drupal, but makes it any diffrence to use it, as one.com server do not provide mod_rewrite.
I commented rewrite rules out though but there was still the 500 Internal.

And i plan to move the domain btw to a better webhost service.

Is it possible that you were browsing the access log? The error log is another file. It's worth the bother finding it.

I commented rewrite rules out though but there was still the 500 Internal.

Suppose you comment out all the lines in that file. Will the 500 error vanish? If so, prhaps you could comment out the lines gradually till you find the problematic lines(s).

Solving 500 errors isn't always easy, I know. Perhaps you could ask the server's tech support to help you.

And there's the Troubleshooting-FAQ. I searched it a bit for you, but couldn't find a section specific for 500. Yet there might be some useful guidlines there, so please check it out.

Thank you mooffie,
so the log was just this an access log containing all access ips and URLS from 2 years no error messages. And this is all which offers "one.com" webhost.

So we (my client and i) allready started teh transfer to a more sufisticated webhost which is cheaper and provide mod_rewrite - and where i know that drupal 6.2 works out of the box.

Thank you very much for your quick and helpfull suggestions in this matter :)

Cheers
