 * Hey everyone,
 * i don’t get it. I can’t run the wp-admin/install.php
    I downloaded the wordpress
   zip. Unzipped it. Then I uploaded all the files in the wordpress folder to / 
   on my server with FileZilla. When I access my domain i have to put in my database
   info which perfectly works. After that i hit run installation and the Error 500–
   Internal server error comes up.
 * What could i possibly do wrong here?
 * Thank you in advance.
    David

 * There are a variety of reasons for a 500 error and resolutions which include 
   fixing .htaccess and/or upgrading memory and/or windows iis server needs configuring,
   etc. etc. etc.
 * Best way to know is to check your error logs in server via some server admin 
   panel or C-Panel or ask your webhost’s tech support to get it for you. In the
   meantime you might want to check solutions via search in [WP forums](http://wordpress.org/search/Error+500+-+Internal+server+error+install.php?forums=1).
