Internal Server Error

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.

Also make sure the file permissio are correctly given.
Change the folder permission of below folder to 777
app/etc
var
media
Change the file permission of below files to 644
index.php (main index file in magento root folder)
downloader/index.php ( otherwise if 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.)

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

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

www.localhost.com/magento and Index of /magento page shows up

I am trying to install Magento on localhost.
actually, I am a beginner of Magento and stackoverflow.
I have followed guide book and I downloaded Magento sample file.. and unzipped the file at c:/xampp/htdocs/magento
also modified the host file..
whenever I am trying to enter the
www.localhost.com/magento
index of magento page shows up.like ftp server.
How can I open the Magento file as well guide book..
I do not use xammp so I don't know how it's directory structure looks like, but: it looks like you are installing Magento in a subdirectory, right?
If you do so, you have to edit .htaccess. Change RedirectBase to the name of your subdirectory. So here it should be /magento/ And if the RedirectBase line in .htaccess is commented out delete the # at the beginning of that line.
Once magento zip file is unzipped drag the unzipped file in
c:xampp/htdocs/(magento unzipped folder) --->> this is root directory of magento
Now we web browser hit this url
http://localhost/(magento unzipped folder name)
if you are hitting this url first time it asks for configuration and admin url name
to access admin panel
http://localhost/(magento unzipped folder name)/admin url name
That seems to be related with your webserver configuration, and not Magento. If you have Apache, for instance, have a look at your configuration file httpd.conf, and check the line that starts with "DirectoryIndex".
You need to have "index.php" as a valid index file. If you don't, just add it right after DirectoryIndex, restart Apache and it should work fine.
/etc/httpd/conf -> usual location for the httpd.conf file (standard installation, RedHat/CentOS family)
Depending on configuration in the .htaccess file, you might need to specify index.php in the url as such: localhost/magento/index.php or (www.localhost.com/magento/index.php as per your comment) to access it.
Check your virtual host configuration file for the domain name that you are using. If the directory index is missing in the configuration then the apache server will not be able to determine the entry point for the website and will list all of the files.

The requested URL was not found on this server (Magento)

I am using Magento ver 7. I have changed the server of my website with the same URL.
So, I export the database from old server and Imported the same database to new server. Apart from this I have also uploaded all the files to the new server.
I have also changed the database credentials in the /public_html/app/etc/local.xml file.
But now when I am open the URL, it shows an error that "Not Found, The requested URL /index.php/ was not found on this server."
I don't know why this is happening.
It works for me.
turn off url rewriting from magento admin configuration>web> Search
Engines Optimization > Use Web Server Rewrites > No
RewriteEngine comment this line in In your .htaccess in the root of your installation
I tried many solutions to resolve this issue.
One thing I did was I removed the local.xml file from the app/etc directory and reinstalled Magento. While reinstalling, in the third step I checked the two check boxes. One is skip base url and the other for url rewrites.
Then it worked like charm.
I also got this problem when I was restoring a backup of the magento folder, The problem was that I copied the files with the wrong command:
cp -R /something/folder/* /folder
This command does recursive copying of all folder but ommits the files which start with ".", therefore the files which make a redirection like ".htaccess" where not copied.
Instead use:
cp -R /something/folder /folder

Joomla Extension Manager issue - Getting an HTTP 500 Server error

I am using Joomla on my website. Now when i try to access the Extension Manager under Extensions, it gives me the following server error
The website encountered an error while retrieving
http://myURL/upload/administrator/index.php?option=com_installer.
It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
How do i fix it?
Thanks
You should definitely find more information in the error log, but a few things to look at are:
permissions: com_installer may need the tmp folder to be writable
configuration: is your tmp folder configured properly (you can check in system information)
corruption: try reinstalling the update package of Joomla over your current installation (the update package) with ftp/shell
improper routing configuration: you may have some wrong configuration either in your httpd.conf or .htaccess file (try renaming them quickly to see if this is the issue; look for an .htaccess in the administrator folder, and each parent up to the web root (so ./uploads/administrator, ./uploads, . )
I repeat, reading the error log (apache error_log or php error, or turn on debug in Joomla) should give you more than enough information to pinpoint the issue.
I had the same issue when I had forgotten to rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess

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.
