Try to comment lines in .htaccess file. Some of them must cause this error.

Hi,

Thanks for the advice!

Commenting this worked for me:

# Follow symbolic links in this directory.
#Options +FollowSymLinks

With 500 internal server errors, you should check your web server logs to see what the problem is, though with this situation the above suggestion would do the trick too.

Thank you for the hints. Now I tried to find the logfile. But I guess as a simple ftp user of only one directory I do not have the permission to access the log directory. By commenting out some lines I got the installation running, but now I also do not have any clean url :) This evening I will try it once more. Maybe it helps if I compare it with the .htaccess file in my Joomla! installtion.

After only a few minutes of trying it seems to be so much easier to make a simple multilingual community webpage with forum, blog, etc. than in Joomla! (assumed that I find some missing extensions). :)

I was encountering this as well. Turns out my www folder was writable by group (0777) should be 0755

go to the error log on WAMPserver and try to find where the error is and re-write the .htaccess file.

In the .htaccess file located in the initial installation folder drupal)
Set this lines in coment

# Follow symbolic links in this directory.
#Options +FollowSymLinks

if it fails, also commented out

# Make Drupal handle any 404 errors.
#ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

if it fails, delete de .htaccess file and ready...
