New Install, Error 500, Can't Run Install
Installation and Configuration
Hi Brian! There was no error in the logs at all.
This is what Siteground said was the issue:
The file probably wasn't complete during the installation or some of the directives were not properly read by the server (thus the 500 error). It looked rather custom, so I didn't really make any changes to it's content (directives, modules, etc.) so I just renamed it to .htaccess-bkp, to see what will happen without an .htaccess. I also checked the server error logs, but nothing related to that domain is logged there, which gave me the initial hunch it's something with the .htaccess file. Usually, you can check these logs from:
cPanel > Error log
That being said - this lead to a 403 error, which was due to the fact that an index file was not present (which was expected and normal), however, I was able to access the
http://faceyet.com/install.php file, which was asking for Database details, so I created a new one - mbstiabu_1 (yes this is the database).
After that, I got the message that an .htaccess was not found, so I renamed it back from .htaccess-bkp to .htaccess, and I was able to run the installation successfully until I got prompted for the new admin account.
