It might be best to ask your host about a 500 error as they will be able to find the cause and fix it quickly i would of thought :)

[Stars25]

yea i was thinking about that but i want to learn myself how to do it and would like to do somethng wihtout asking my host because dont really like my host either.so does anyone know how to ?

[AndyF]

I think you would need access to the error logs (not sure which ones probably apache) to determine the error :unsure:

[Stars25]

i know where the error is and everything i just dont know how to fix it

[AndyF]

What does the server error log say ? :)

I`l move your topic to "Server Management, Resources And Optimization" as its not really a specific IPB issue by the sounds of it.

EDIT:NVM I GOT IT my forums folder was chmod to 777 and i had to change it to 755

[AndyF]

Can you set the permission on that directory to 755 ?

Can't CHMOD anything to 777 when you have suphp or phpsuexec installed! (Which I'm assuming you do because it will cause 500 errors when things are 777'ed.)
