Installation: 500 error

[arenaTR]

Hello All:

I'm getting a 500 error when trying to run index.php:

[Mon Feb 20 12:22:27 2006] [alert] [client 68.81.134.110] /u/web/phi120/.htaccess: Invalid command 'php_value', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration.

Where my .htaccess has the line, from the install settings:

php_value include_path /private/phpCodeGenie3/app/settings/

where "private" is first sub to my root.

I've tried it a bunch of differnet ways.  I first put this only in the "phpCodeGenie3" directory and then no such luck, as well as in the root (parent to "private")

Also, I see no error in my URL_ADDRESS or SITE_PATH variables in genieConfiguration.inc.php.

Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated!

I don't actually know but, 500 error is an Apache server error that I've seen when the folders or files it's trying to use don't have the right permissions.  That's the 'chmod' in Unix and you can also fix it thru the FTP client (like WS ftp, say).  Same would go for the phpCodeGenie3 folders and files.
Is the Apache httpd.conf file correct with the directive enabled for, for example: AccessFileName .htaccess?
I did notice that some of the default references in the PCG files used 'phpCodeGenie3.0' but 'you use 'phpCodeGenie3'.  I do this but it meant editing one or two default references in PCG files.
As I said I don't know, being no expert, but your description of what's happened would lead me to check those things.
