500 - Internal Server Error while installing magento Index.php/install/wizard/installDb/ - magento

After setting database details while installation and submitted. Then it loaded for sometime and got this error 500 - Internal Server Error while installing in Index.php/install/wizard/installDb/
I check in database there are 250 tables added. Why this error coming? both 1.7 & 1.9 I installed almost 10 times but getting same error. Please Help.

This error might be caused because you have not set the correct permissions for the Magento folders. To solve this go to File Manager and then change the file permission of index.php file from 664 to 644. Also change the permissions of downloader/index.php file to 644 as well otherwise when you will try to access System > Magento Connect >Magento Connect Manager (after Magento installation) by logging to Magento admin, you will get 500 Internal Server Error.
You can also try this tool, it’s a Magento cleanup utility. It will set the correct permissions for your complete Magento installation:
Download it
Unzip magento-cleanup.php to the root directory of your Magento installation
Browse to http://example.com/magento/magento-cleanup.php

Magento 500 Internal Server - No Log Files?

I have just upgraded my site from Magento 1.7 to 1.9 and i'm now getting a 500 Internal Server Error. From other posts, I have done the following:
Deleted the maintenance.flag file
Changed permission on index.php to 755
Changed permission on downloader/index.php to 755
Changed permissions recursively on /var to 777
I've also gone through the files and all directories seem to be 755 and all main files '666'.
I'm still getting the 500 Internal Server Error. The bigger problem is that I have no error files in /log to be able to identify the problem. I created the folder /log (because it didn't exist) but no files are in there. I do not have access to the frontend of backend (because of the 500 Internal Server Error) to make sure that logging is turned on.
Any idea how I can try to troubleshoot / get these error logs?
Thanks!
It sounds like you're getting a plain, un-styled 500 Internal Server Error page, which means its your web server that's returning the error. This means any error logging is likely to be in your web server log files, and not PHP or Magento's log files.
You'll need to check with your system administrator to find out
What web server you're running
Where it's log files are
And if you have access to those log files
Common places these files might be are
/var/log/apache2/error_log
/var/log/nginx/...
However, every distribution keeps them in a different place.

facing error when installing magento on go daddy

hosting magento with godaddy getting error
I have changed my .htacces and php5.ini file ...
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator and inform them of the time the error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
I will thankful to you.
I just finished a magento installation on a godaddy virtualhost and ran up with the same problem.
The fix was to do the following:
In godaddy host administration panel adjust the php version to match that of your magento installation(in my case magento 1.9.1.0 CE -community edition), I've changed it to 5.4.
Then on your .htaccess file of your magento's base directory change the rewrite base directive to point to the relative path like this:
RewriteBase /
On this same file, add at the end of it the following:
RewriteRule ^index.php/(.*)$ [L]
Add the following directives to the php5.ini file at the root of your godaddy's virtualhost(if it doesn't exist create one with the same exact name specified):
[sourcecode language="php"]
register_globals = on
allow_url_fopen = on
cgi.fix_pathinfo =1
[/sourcecode]
And that's it(don't forget to save all file changes and close the files used.
For a full explanation and more detailed steps go to the following article.

Error on installing magento extension using Direct package file upload

I try to install Express Checkout | One Step Checkout for Magento Community Edition v1.7.0.2. But it gives error:
CONNECT ERROR: Permission denied to write to var/package/tmp/\K:\xampp\htdocs\trial1\var
It's a problem about the folder permissions ;)
Check this link
I already solved my problem. Instead of using a direct package file upload, I copy the extension to the Magento folder. Log out admin and login again, refresh cache if necessary.
But it doesn't display on Magento connect manager.

Changing Base URL in Magento

I am moving a magento store from mydomaintest.com to mydomain.com.
When I say move, in this instance, we simply used the Cpanel to Modify Account and changed the Domain Name from mydomaintest.com to mydomain.com.
Then using the advice found in forums I used PHPMyAdmin to update the Magento Core Config table to the new BaseURL for both Secure and Unsecure url's.
After doing this I deleted all files in /var/cache.
Trying to access the site by domain name or IP is providing the following error:
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/mydomain/public_html/errors/report.php' (include_path='/home/mydomain/public_html/app/code/local:/home/mydomain/public_html/app/code/community:/home/mydomain/public_html/app/code/core:/home/mydomain/public_html/lib:.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/mydomain/public_html/app/Mage.php on line 847
Please help, we are trying to move live today and can't seem to figure this one out.
Thanks!

Go to System > Index management and Reindex data as it also contain the url rewrites. Also be sure to check System > Cache Management (some versions still have that) and flush all cache as var/cache is not the only caching location. The zend components save their cache in the tmp folder.
I had this issue with Magento running with Apache2 on Ubuntu 14.10
Make sure that MySQL module for PHP is install:
dpkg --list | grep php5-mysql
If it is not listed, you need to install it:
sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
Then restart Apache:
sudo service apache2 restart
In our case we get this message because someone deleted the "error" folder - the site works fine until an error happens.
Once we restored the folder (and make sure PHP can access it), we see the normal Magento error page.
If you don't have the folder you can download Magento and extract it from the archive.

Magento Connect Manager Setting Error

Need an urgent solution about magento Error....
Am getting an error message in Magento 1.5.0.1 version at Magento Connect Manager ... I couldn't install magento extensions ...
The error msg shows as :
Warning: Your Magento folder does not have sufficient write permissions.
If you wish to proceed downloading Magento packages online, please set all Magento folders to have writable permission for the web server user (example: apache) or set up FTP Connection on the Magento Connect Manager Settings tab.
Whereas, I have changed the file permission from our end to 777
The locations are :
app/etc
app/code
var
media
Also, i have uploaded Magento files and folder directly into the root directory .. so, there is no Magento folder existed in the root directory..
Please give some soln ..
Thanks
make sure your web root directory (ie /var/www/public_html/) is actually read and write by apache so having it be the owner and set your permissions to 755 or 775. I bet you don't have a folder/file in the root that Magento Connect it trying to create but cant because the web root permissions are wrong not your magento file permissions themselves (that was my problem at least) ... and yes you shouldn't be 777 everything that is bad.
