Dolphin Install - 500 Internal Server Error

taipei_angel posted 22nd of August 2008 in Community Voice. 7 comments.

Hi All! I am all new to this... Trying to install Dolphin on a Linux shared server. I am following the instructions. I uploaded all folders and files to the root directory of my site. When I tried to open install/index.php, I got the 500 Internal Server Error.

I saw that I am supposed to add# in front of the php_flag line and Options -Indexes lines in .htaccess files. So I did all that. Still, I am getting the 500 error.

I had already created the database in phpMyAdmin.

Is there something I am not doing right? Or is there something I need to do or enable on the server in order for this to work?

Please help!

i find it hard to believe that you followed the instructions of the install file when you cant follow the simple instructions of this blog. the blog clearly states that you should post all support related inquiries in the forum.

this is a support related inquiry, just in case you were unable to determine that.

post in the forum and i will help you, but i refuse to help somebody who doesnt know how to follow rules.

later,
DosDawg

Sorry about that. I have found many helpful support type blogs before, therefore, I assumed... Obviously it was wrong for me to assume. I should have read the rules...

You are quite harsh though. Not sure if that was necessary. But obviously, you felt very strongly about it. So, whatever, man, you are entitled.

You might get a faster response in the forums, but heck since this is already posted here....

This will probably depend on whether you have php compiled as apache or cgi.

Sounds like this might be cgi. Which would through the 500 internal server error. Do try to comment those out you mention with a # sign.

If you have a windows server this is a whole new ball game as most have linux.

Comment the lines out with # let us know if you have linux or windows. Who your host is or if they have see more

When installing Dolphin 6.1.4 you can temporarily don't (delete) using .htaccess (root & install folder)

After finished.. you can used again
Maybe with remove the 1st line "Options -MultiViews"

I have read a lot of solutions on this matter. It is as simple as clicking a mouse button to fix. There are two or one white space at the beginning of .htaccess.

Besides, if you look at the bottom of the file when opened you have </ifmodule> whereas there is no <ifmodule> at the beginning. Copy this few lines and replace it with the one you have.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^articles/{0,1}$ articles.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule see more

Hi guys,

First of all I'm sorry about my English. I'm Brazilian.

Reading the forum I noticed many other users getting the same error. I already did all the changes into PHP.ini and .HTACCESS but I'm still getting an error into Dolphin installation (500 Server Internal Error).
Please, can someone help me?
