Error 500 in IPB

[Adam!]

My Invision power board is getting error 500 since I renamed admin directory.

What can I do? I can't access admin area now.

 

[bugfinder]

put the admin directory back.

It obviously needs part of it to function. You could try blocking it with a password if you're worried people would try using it

 

[Adam!]

I have put it back, no success.
And the password thing I did before.. =D

Go into your cPanel, under the logs section and paste the top 5 lines of the Error Log to us in here.

That's the error log.
Something about permissions maybe?

 

[bugfinder]

Then change the admin directory permissions to 744 which is rwx for you, and read only for others and group

OK I did now I get forbidden....

[bugfinder]

So its not using your permissions it must be using other.. so make it 747 (which is rwx for you and all, but not group)

 

[Adam!]

Working now! Thanks I tried 755 and it worked =D.
