help.. Its a no go.

I installed VB on my host and it worked like no problem. It have NEVER done any php stuff or anything and all went good.

Now I want to install VB on a new Server and there is no way in HECK i can get it to go.. I set up the Mysql server and made sure that there is PHP on the server and man.. there is no way i can get it to work.. The page (install.php) dosen't come up.. it says.

Internal Server Error

Now I have all the goods to install.. But i can't get nothing to work.. Not even the test.php It dosen't even load to say that i don't have it installed.

Any thoughts?
Thanks

UNIX server..

server company is www.interland.com

it has PHP and MySql

[Martin]

um

did you sign a contract with them? I just ended a year there and it was pure hell, then they wanted $22k to renew my contract.

anyway, they still run PHP as CGI on their servers. If you installed it yourself, you need to uninstall it and recompile it as an apache module, otherwise you're going to have worse performance.

If you don't want to recompile, the other option is to put a #! /path/to/php in the tops of almost all the seperate script files.

I wish you much luck with interland. you're going to need it.

add the path to PHP (something like "#!usr/bin/php") to the tops of all files except global.php, admin/global.php, admin/db_mysql.php and admin/config.php

Ok.. I just want to tell you that I HATE WISH ALLL MY HEART interland.com. I have had NOTHING but problems with them.. and it is driving me nuts!

But as you said I could put a path to php in all the scripts you said..

So just at the top of that scripts where is says:

<?php

or what?

And I want to thank you in advance for ALLL your help.

and do you know of a server company that is good and at a good price ?? beside Interland ;-)

Thanks

[Martin]
