If you're receiving a "500 - Internal Server Error", this implies that something will be added to the Apache error log explaining what the problem is. I recently finished installation of Media wiki. As per instructions, I copied the localsettings.php file to the parent directory, and followed the link that it gave me which brought me to my new blank wiki. Before I had a chance to do anything I accidentally closed the browser window. When I re-opened the browser window I could no longer access the wiki. It is saying there is an internal server error or misconfiguration. Here is a link to the page with the error. www.drsecrets.com/wiki You mentioned Apache, and I did notice this at the bottom of the page: Apache/1.3.37 Server at www.drsecrets.com Port 80 I have double checked that the localsettings.php file was correctly moved to the /wiki folder, I tried renaming the .htacess file which you saw didn't help. As for checking error logs in apache, I'm not quite sure I have access to that. As I said earlier, I'm very green to all of this. I have learned that Apache is a web server software. Someone else hosts the site for me, but I do have access to a program called Cpanel which has a file management system and a bunch of other things. The error logs page has a bunch of errors that look like this: [Thu Apr 19 18:54:50 2007] [error] [client 24.14.142.223] File does not exist: /home/drsecret/public_html/500.shtml [Thu Apr 19 18:49:02 2007] [error] [client 74.6.75.48] File does not exist: /home/drsecret/public_html/robots.txt [Thu Apr 19 18:42:48 2007] [error] [client 24.176.170.119] File does not exist: /home/drsecret/public_html/favicon.ico These three errors are repeated at different times durning the day...there are about 20 total. If these are not Apache errors, I can get in contact with the person hosting the site for me, and I'm sure he would have access to them. If there is something else I should try, I'm open for suggestions! Thanks! Mike --------------------------------- Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell? Check outnew cars at Yahoo!

Wow, your right. There are pages other then the main page that do not work as well, but alot of them do. I was able to change some preferences and set up a user login, but I still cannot access the main page and a few others.
