Hi.

I am very new here, so I will do the best I can to describe what I am trying to do.

I'm trying to install FUDforum, which is the only forum which supports Usenet News groups, and after I upload the files required into my public_html directory, and startup the install.php (via web browser) I get the error below. I run Xampp on my system to test out what forum software I would like to use before installing it on a server such as this.

I type in my web browser (which is firefox 4.0) aio1155.x10.mx/install.php and I get this error.


ERROR
=====

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, no-reply@x10hosting.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


NOTE: I also changed the permissions to 777 to allow full access.


Thanks, I sure hope you can give me a hand because I have tried everything.

Your permissions are messed; change them to 644 for php files and 755 for directories or the system won't run them for security (which causes an Internal Server Error). There might be other things contributing to this, but I confirmed on the server you've definitely got the wrong permissions for starters.

Thank you, that is what was causing the problem, and thank you for responding so quickly.

Cheers..
