 * using required versions of MySQL 5.x and PHP 4.x. I configured my config file,
   but then run into this internal server error? Can Anybody help? I don’t see any
   resolutions for this type of error in forums. Other php apps work just fine.

 * Looks like 2.3 has some sort of an issue so I’ve decided to install 2.0 version
   and it works fine. Apparently, there is a difference in how the 2 builds were
   developed. I hope someone can fix 2.3

 * I ran into this problem back in October and then again tonight trying to install
   on another website. Your problem might be the same as mine.
 * Check your error logs for the server, these are usually accessed through some
   sort of site admin panel or C-Panel. You might see an entry that looks like this:
 * [client 24.107.184.211] Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried
   to allocate 10 bytes)
 * This was the explanation from my host: “The problem stems from the fact that 
   this new version of WordPress requires 16MB of PHP.ini memory, whereas you are
   currently provisioned with 8MB of memory.”
 * Usually contacting your host and asking them to allocate more memory would be
   enough.
 * Hope this helps. 🙂
