    Running Vbulletin fine.

    Tried installing Amember but when I run setup.php
    I get
    ------------------------------
    "Internal server error"

    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
    Please contact the server administrator, (removed address) and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

    More information about this error may be available in the server error log.


    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    Server error log shows...

    error: directory is writable by others: (/home/ftadavid/public_html/amember)

    permissions to 777 then tried 707 with same results.

    Use permissions 755

    Just to update.

    I did a typo ment to say 755 but, looking at the permissions I noticed that it in fact was the issue.

    Wrong permissions generates a server error 500

    It has been corrected, my database restored and I'm up and running on new server again.


    Thank you.

    Getting Same Error

    I have been using amember for quite some time. All of a sudden I am attempting to Browse my Users and am getting the same exact error message as Toron:

    "Internal server error"

    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
    Please contact the server administrator, (removed address) and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

    More information about this error may be available in the server error log."

    I didn't find anything in my server error log, and my permissions are set properly as far as I can tell.

    Does anyone know why this may be happening?

    Thank you!
