Page Cannot be Displayed 500 Internal Server Error (yes I am a newbie to Dolphin) New install Windows

O.K. guys I am dying. I have been hacking away at this for 6+ hours. I went through the detailed documentation step by step and some other posts I have found. I also check the FAQ and the other blog entries and tried everything described and I am still unable to run the /install/index.php. I am very rusty at UNIX and app deployment but tried to make up for this buy reading carefully. I am running Apache 2.2 on Windows. I gutted my IIS to avoid complications. I am running Dolphin 1.6.0005 ad free . 5.051 of MySQL. I just finished re-unzipping all of the original files but before that tried the trick of deleting the .htaccess file and also commenting out the first line (obviously in reverse order). I also modified the index.php file with a simple dialog and commenting out all of the other lines so I know the file is accessible. I also checked the other scripts will run when called directly. My goal is to put a “demo” site together to show some people to gauge interest but I can’t even get this installed. Thanks for any help-

Forgot to mention PHP for Apache 5.2.5. I tried this from my Centos box next door and only received a blank page and no error. However I can execute cleanup_db.php and it runs.. Thanks!

Hello.

If you can PM me your FTP accesses, I can check this problem and suggest some cure for it.

Thanks but this is behind a private network with no FTP forwarding allowed by policy. I know I can run other PHP scripts sucessfully. Is there any other "capability" test I should try? I was going to start "gutting" the index.php today and see if any part of it will run. With this experience I am scared to try this on my Centos box..

Have you got AllowOverideAll in you apache config for this site? You could be having .htaccess problems.

You need to allow these files to do their work.

I had the same problem yesterday.

I meant AllowOverRide All (missing space)

Hey thanks for the reply nadlanudev. Which .htcaccess file (root of the webserver or in the install dir)? I will add this and hope for the best. I am pretty pumped about this for a demo but can't get the install to load (what a looser I am!).

Changed AllowOveRide to All. Restarted the server and still No Joy. I started hacking away at the Install.PHP and found it didn't crash if I stopped it right before the "Encoding line" Any clue?

Ok I think I fixed this. I went into the PHP.ini and made utf-8 explicit. Then I removed the lines in the install.php and commented the lines //mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");// . It seems to run the install so far. Will this cause other problems or am I home free?

Once I get through this I will post the whole journey and undocumented issues I have hacked my way through.
