Topic: Installation Failed - I get a 500 Error at /forum/index.php

Hello
Sorry to bother you good people but I've reached a dead end.
Installation went through successfully, apparently but here is what I'm left with:
http://www.turksheadfc.com/forum/index.php

I'm pretty sure all the database user/pass etc was entered correctly (otherwise it wouldn't have let me install anything right?). And I've uploaded the config.php file to the forum root sucessfully. Do I need to chmod that file or anything?

Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated
cheers
Mark

Try re-uploading index.php. If that doesn't help, make sure you host doesn't run mod_security and if they do, have them update the ruleset.

Beofre contacting your host, check your error log and see what information it's reporting
