Hi Doug,
I never really liked the fantastico install because it assumes certain
settings and permissions that just might not be friendly to your
webhost's requirements, besides if you ever want to upgrade, fantastico
will overwrite all your old files. Blah. More hassle than it's worth.
My host, which is site5.com is pretty strict about permissions. If
everything is opened up to 777 I'll get a 500 error, but chmode all
folders to 0755 and files to 644 and all is fine. Find your error logs.
If you're using cpanel you can check them from there and you'll see more
specific information regarding your 500 error.
The best solution, however is to install a dummy or quickstart package.
After decompressing your files all permissions should be fine.
Your best resource is your host. Check with them and see what they suggest.
Regards,
Bill Alexy
