error An internal server error has occurred!" Ok. So you just change your Joomla 3.x site to search engine friendly URLS, changed to mod rewrite and also renamed the htaccess.txt to .htaccess but every article page returns the error “Error 500 - http://www.andrewbrettwatson.com/index.php/more/joomla-help/506-how-to-fix-internal-server-error-on-joomla-sites-which-are-not-installed-in-the-web-hosting-root Internal server error An internal server error has occured!” is that the problem? Ok here is a https://www.gavick.com/blog/solving-problems-during-joomla-30-installation solution: First remember this is just one possible solution. It won’t work for everybody. It depends on what is going wrong with your site. It should work if this is your problem: Joomla is installed in a folder that is not the root folder of your hosting service. When you turn Joomla SEF (in Global configuration: Search Engine Friendly URLs = YES and Use Apache server error mod_rewrite = YES) the site breaks and starts showing Error 500 - Internal server error An internal server error has occurred! The important part there is that in this case, it happens when Joomla is NOT installed in the root directory. So to fix this we have to tell the server to consider the folder where it IS located to be the root folder for Joomla. We do this by editing the .htaccess and looking for the following line: # RewriteBase / internal server error and we change it to: RewriteBase / This (effectively) tells the server to consider the root folder for Joomla is the folder that it (.htaccess) is in. If the problem was caused by the location of your Joomla install, this SHOULD work. If it doesn’t work, it is likely that the Internal Server Error is caused by something else, that is to say the Error 500 was due to a different problem. To help better understand the problem try this: Check with a different browser, if you change something and the page has not completely refresh you might get this error Refresh the page (cmd+r on Mac or F5 on windows). Sometimes you just have to wait a while or force the browser to get the latest version to fix this error. If that is the case it means other visitors to the site probably haven’t seen this error. Clear you browser cache or your browser history and then reload the page Clear your Joomla cache (login to the Administrator backend and click system>clear cache) Turn off Joomla Caching (login to the Administrator backend and click system>global configuration in the System tab you will find cache settings, turn them off) Clear your template cache. Some Joomla templates have cache login to the Administrator backend and click Extension>Template Manager - look for caching option and turn of ALL compression options (CSS/GZIP) Turn off your hosting caching. You web host may have a setting for caching
in Joomla 3.2 The Joomla 3.0 content management system was developed to work well on Web servers running LAMP or Windows and IIS. Nevertheless, you may end up with a failed or under-performing Joomla installation due to differences in Linux distributions, Web-server software versions and hardware configurations. This information describes common problem scenarios and ways to get help if you encounter a problem during Joomla 3.0 installation. I am very pleased to see a change in the order of installation screens compared to the beta version of Joomla, because in stable version of Joomla 3.0 "Pre-Installation Check" is currently activated as first not only last. Server Software Versions You may have problems installing the latest version of Joomla (Joomla 3), it has higher requirements than had the previous version, it needs a more recent version of the PHP interpreter or mySQL database management system. Apache web server is strongly recommended. Also, you must have at least PHP 5.3.1 and MySQL 5.1 or PostgreSQL 8.3.18 installed. Even if your Web host offers an older, tried and true version of PHP and MySQL by default, it may allow you use a newer version by changing your server configuration or by adding an ".htaccess" file directive. Magic Quotes GPC If yours pre-installer will not let you proceed because Magic Quotes GPC is set to on you have to turn in off. Magic quotes may be enabled or disabled in the php.ini file simply by changing the value of the magic_quotes_gpc from On to Off, or Off to On. Simply create a php.ini file with the following code: magic_quotes_gpc = Off or magic_quotes_gpc = 0. If you do not have access to the php.ini file, inquire with the System administrator for your host and ask about having Magic quotes turned off. How to disable the safe mode The PHP safe mode is an attempt to solve the shared-server security problem. It is very simple to disable safe mode on the entire server. All you
