What is your file permissions? For a normal store all files should be CHMOD to 644 and all directories/folders 755.

Besides that, CHMOD the following folder to 777 (not recursively):-
/config, /upload, /download, /tools/smarty/compile

Also CHMOD the following folders and it subdirectories to 777 recursively:-
img, /mails, /modules, /themes/prestashop/lang, /translations


Also try checking with your hosting provider on whether the server has suPHP/suEXEC enabled. If they do, all files and folders should be set at 644 and 755 respectively. 777 should not be used anywhere.

Hi guys,

I also experienced with 500 Internal Server Error when it goes to payment page.. According to installation instruction of Prestashop saying we should set the "write" permission CHMOD 777 recursively to module folder but I does not work for HostPapa hosting at all. I had to set the permission to CHMOD 755 to all the folders under module folder and it is working now.

Also, make sure to put the index.php file (even just a blank file) under every module folders (such as cheque, bankwire .. etc) otherwise other people my able to see all the files.

Hello Dave,

The file permissions depends from one hosting provider to another. For us, we use 644 for all files and 755 for all directories. The file permission 777 is not needed at all as we are running suPHP/suEXEC, which not only improves security but save a lot of hassle on changing file permissions as well.
