hi! there

check your permissions.....500 is mostly always permissions error for your files.

hi, thanks for your reply. so what should i set it to? i changed the authentication.tpl to 777. is this right? what else do i need to change permission for?

thanks a lot

Files should be 644 and folders (the ones stated in the installation instructions) should be 755 or 777 depending on your server (some servers dont use 777 and will throw a 500 server error back).

Hi!

For folders: 755
For files: 644

I have one question =)

I downloaded the latest prestashop version - 1.4.1 and before you install everything, you set some directories and subdirectories to 777.

But after you install everything, do you have to set all those permissions back to 755?

And one more thing. In the newest PS version all files are set to 755 by default. Does that mean, I have to change all of them to 644?

I get this Internal Server Error allways, when i choose PayPal or Western Union payment. So i guess it's something with the permissions, is that right?

Thanks,
Housy
