@esmi
That is precisely what I am doing right about now.
I wanted to post here to see if any one could share some insight on a plugin and or code they have used before…

…a lot of trial and error testing over here!

Thanks for the suggestion.

fwoan – thanks for your quick reply.

By downloading WP and uploading the new index.php file to my site’s root (I assume as is with the line changes you mentioned), will I be replacing the index.php file that came with the Theme?

What impact(s) will this have on the overall theme function??

Is there a link/post/thread I can read up on this?

Mucho thanks.

@fwoan – thank you for your suggestions.

I have opened the index.php file in Dreamweaver to edit.

Nothing was found when I searched 'require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');. I also searched for define('WP_USE_THEMES', true); but no luck.

It seems like the index.php does not include either of these.

FYI Line #17 reads as follows:
$tmpurl = get_template_directory_uri();

Hello WP Community~
RE: my initial problem,

“500 Internal Server Error when Installing via FTP”

, I never did find a solution for this.

After trying several suggestions posted here and in other forums, the problem seemed never ending. I ended up switching the website into the host company I use for all my other sites. I was trying to keep it simple and use the host provider my client already had financially invested with…but when it wasn’t working, there was no such thing as simple anymore 🙂

@nabenj: I am not sure how old posts and comments are retrieved, but maybe this will help:

I have double-checked all permissions and they are all correct.
WP-Folders = 755
WP-Loose Files = 644.

🙁

@t-p thanks for your response. I have searched through the forums in hopes of finding a solution, but noting gives. Now for your suggestions:

ERROR LOG
I have located the error log for the hosting acct. It has a list of the last 300 errors logged. Here are a few of the listed errors:

[error] [client IP.xxx] File does not exist: /home/machone/public_html/404.shtml
[error] [client IP.xxx] File does not exist: /home/machone/public_html/cpnael
[error] [client IP.xxx] File does not exist: /home/machone/public_html/404.shtml
[error] [client IP.xxx] File does not exist: /home/machone/public_html/robots.txt

…and so on – But there seems to be nothing referring to .htaccess file

2- .HTACCESS
I currently do not see a .htaccess file in the wordpress files to upload. I have currently downloaded another “fresh” copy to assure I have all files – should I create a .htaccess file?

3-SERVER
server configuration, what exactly should I be looking or asking for? Is there particular settings I should modify to?

4- PLUGINS
I currently have no plugins other than those already in the wordpress install files. This is a ‘new’ -or- ‘fresh’ wordpress install using cPanel.

5-THEME
I do not have a theme installed, again just default wordpress files at the moment (new wordpress install)

6- I have tried once more to upload everything “fresh”, configuring my ‘wp-config.php’ with the Database settings….same error!

Yikes!!! I really need some help over here…
