500 error (initial install)

[Skotina]

Hello

I've tried to setup chevereto to a new hosting, uploaded all files, changed necessary data in config.php and then tried to run the script. Chevereto responded with error that image folder should have write permissions.

I've chmoded the image folder and then tried to run the script once again - and received 500 error.

Testing tool says that the server can run chevereto http://digitalenglish.ru/testing_tool/testing_tool.php

Can anyone help with this?

Are you running Apache?

Are you running Apache?

Yup, Apache.

Must be something with the htaccess rules. Try to delete the contents of the htaccess file until you notice which rule is causing the error.

Must be something with the htaccess rules. Try to delete the contents of the htaccess file until you notice which rule is causing the error.

I removed the line one by one, but nothing happend. Even with blank htaccess it gives 500 error 🙁
Without htaccess file chevereto doesn't run of course.


I've checked the error log and it says:
