Server error if installed in the root folder

[roshgorg]

Hello,
I installed OpenClassifieds in the public_html folder of my hosting account at http://technis.elementfx.com/ .The installation was shown as successful, but when I go to the page, it shows a 500 internal server error. There is no problem if I install any other script using the Softaculous installer. But, the error occurs only with the openClassifieds.

The error that is shown when visiting the page is given below:-

Internal Server 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 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Hello!
Did you try uncommenting the RewriteBase / in the .htaccess file ?
This file should be there in public_html.
You can un-comment that by removing the hash sign(#).

Hey, thanks for the quick reply.

There is no RewriteBase / in the .htaccess file....
The following are the contents of my .htaccess file:-
ErrorDocument 404 /content/404.php
Options All -Indexes
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^install/$ install/ [L]
:
:
:
:
</IfModule>


And all the line are not commented.

Now what should I fo?
Also, please mention what should be the Chmod for the public_html folder. Is it 750 or 755 or 777?

Thank You my dear friend.

Also, please mention what should be the Chmod for the public_html folder. Is it 750 or 755 or 777?

It should not be 777.
Set permissions of folders and files inside public_html to 755 and 644, respectively and that of public_html to 750.

Hello Meastro...
YEah i corrected the chmod... But, still the error is there...
Should I add a new line RewriteBase / in the htaccess file?

 

[MaestroFX1]

There is no RewriteBase / in the .htaccess file....

Please add this RewriteBase /( RewriteBase with a forward slash) in your .htaccess file or PM me if you want me to look into it.

 

[roshgorg]

I added that in the htaccess file, but still it is not working...I will pm you now.

Thanks meastro in advance.
