Try setting the privilege on MySQL, you can do this either on phpMyAdmin or ssh access.

“GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on NameOfYourDatabaseHere.* TO [email protected] IDENTIFIED BY ‘YourPasswordHere’;

flush privileges;

Then run the install.php again

hi tobithefish,
can you check wp-config.php, try to see if it’s missing ?> in the end of the file, try to add that if it’s missing.

hope that helps

this happened to me before, but it turned to be just a DNS resolution problem with my Internet Provider.

Because the DNS (on the ISP side) was not resolving 100%, a lot of the files (CSS probably) was not being fetched by my browser–hence, the messed up apperance.

Can you try to access the WP-admin using a different internet provider, try to see if the problem persist. It could be that your connection is timing out, and wp-admin cannot fully load all needed files to show up it’s usual interface.

Thanks

hi eyerocket,

Are you able to access the more specific error logs from your server, specifically those in /var/log/apache/error.log.

Error 500 is pretty generic and a catch all error, the specific errors from apache.log will be better for diagnostics.

Thanks

Hi,

Instead of the code <?php the_content();?>, just use <?php the_excerpt?>. You can do this either on index.php or home.php

For example; on index.php, you might have the code snippet

<?php if(have_posts()) : ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>

<h1>
title=<?php the_title();?>>
<?php the_title();?>

</h1>
<?php the_excerpt();?>

<div class=”contentmeta”>
Written by <?php the_author();?>, on <?php the_time(‘n.j.Y’);?>,
filed under <?php the_category(‘, ‘)?> and tagged <?php the_tags(”,’ | ‘,”)?> .
>Continue reading <?php the_title(); ?> →
</div>

<?php endwhile;?>

It will show only the excerpt, and the <?php the_title?> is linked to the full post. Of course on, your single.php, you need to use <?php the_content();?>
