1.)Is this your first form? YES
2.)does your host support php? YES (PHP Version 5.0.4)
3.)does your host support mysql (if you are using it in your form)? Yes (4.1.14-standard)
4.)have you tried going straight to the admin using your browser? YES http://url.com/forms/form/admin/
5.) have you tried using the form to enter data before using the admin? YES
i've also set all the permissions 777 and played around with them.. also deleted some string in the pro**.php
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The 500 error is not very informative but in most cases it usualy a file permission error. The recommendation to set all files to 777 is not a good one. This allows anyone to see, read, and write your files.
Try this approach:
All graphics and html files to 644.
All php files to 755.
If this does not work try setting all php to 744, then try 644.
The reasons for this are that all servers are not equal. Levels of security, and revisions of the installed Apache and PHP have different default installation options and depending on the host they will have different security options installed.
If you still fail, send an email to your host. Explain to them what you are trying to do and ask them how the file permissions should be set. If possible ask them to set the file permissions for you.
