PHPJunkyard support forum

I have installed the latest Gbook and followed the htm file for installation and uploaded all the files yet when I go to the page it states "This page isn't working and error 500 under it. I have tried other browsers and another computer but same results. I have searched the forum but I do not see anybody with my problem.

500 is a server-side error. You will need to check in your server error logs to see the exact error message.

P.s.: maybe you made a syntax error in the settings.php file? Does it load with the original file?

Just checked and it did load with original settings.php

Wierd! I changed my admin password to a more simple one with no special characters and it works now.

Then it most likely was a PHP syntax error; if you use ' in the password you need to escape it with \

Wrong: Correct:

First off, check your server logs for more details on what's causing the issue. Could be a server config thing. Also, make sure your file permissions are on point. Sometimes it's just a little tweak that sorts it out.
