500 Internal Server Error when installing 4.0.7
When I install the 4.0.7 files I get an “500 Internal Server Error” in my site root and in my /textpattern/ folder. I simply uploaded index.php, .htaccess, the contents of /textpattern/ (so as to leave config.php intact), and /rpc/.
Upon re-uploading 4.0.6 everything is back to normal.
I checked the FAQs here and tried using the 4.0.7 version with the .htaccess from 4.0.6, and then deleted .htaccess all together. Neither attempt provided any resolution; I still got “500 Internal Server Error”
The server version is Apache/1.3.37
PHP version 4.4.6
MySQL version 4.1.22
Any thoughts on why this might be the case or any more information that I can provide? Thanks!

It usually happens to me due to a bad chmod of the files by my ftp program. Check them out. If needed change to 755 or so.

Thanks Zanza, that fixed the problem! The root index.php and the /textpattern/index.php were set to 664, when in the last version (4.0.6) they were set to 644.
Changing to 644 did the trick.

Re: 500 Internal Server Error when installing 4.0.7
Hi everyone!
I seem to have the same problem with 4.0.7 (internal server error) but changing chmod does not do the trick. And worse, when I return to 4.0.6 I only get to select the language but not any further. Here some more specific details:
4.0.7 with .htaccess:
access denied on all pages
4.0.7 without .htaccess:
internal server error, but textpattern will show all articles (with a strangley deformed design)
4.0.6 without .htacces:
textpattern will show all article (in normal design), but in the admin menu I don’t get any further as to select the language. After that nothing happens.
I’ve used textpattern for two years now and this is the first issue I could not solve with some help of Google and FAQ reading. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thx,
René

Re: 500 Internal Server Error when installing 4.0.7
Hi everyone again!
I got 4.0.7 working and the solution is rather simple. As an avid Mac user I always used Cyberduck for anything FTP. The latest Cyberduck, however, seems to mix up chmod quite a bit. When I was using Winscp on Vista doing exactly the same as I had done before with Cyberduck everything worked right out of the box. Sorry to have bothered all of you & keep up the good work.
Thx,
René
