Fine.
There is nothing weird in the htaccess file, so I really dont know why apache has problems with it. The most important part is the one on the top of the file, which blocks unauthorized access to some files, but also this one is not crucial for security.

Please try test (by commenting out) which part of the file is source of the failure, then report the result back, then we will fix the problem in next FA release.

extract all and uploaded on a new directory, called "fa" (555) under the root folder

You mean document_root, not file system root I hope?

no more doubts no pre-requisites ... somehow i managed to get the webhosting to adjust the php file

now the configuration is:

PHP Version 5.3.16

- session.auto_start Off
- magic_quotes_gpc Off
- register_globals Off

can anyone have an idea why i dont get anything but the 500 error? i dont understand, i dont know what else i should do ...

thanks for your reply

it was a mistyping, the fa directory was created by default 755, as it is not working i tried 777 but also no working

but i dont understand why i dont reach the installer? nothing happen, only 500 error

The fa directory should have permissions 755 and not 555.
It must be chmod-ed to the webserver user.
In case the config.php file cannot be created, do so manually by copying the config.default.php as config.php and edit them. Also place the installed_extensions.php file in the the company/0/ folder after removing variables other than the array of extensions. Language extensions file may also have to be created. Manually execute the sql/en_US-new.sql file in mysql.

Any issues, provide access on PM.

unfortunately i can not get the first page of the Installer :-(

i have downloaded the most recent stable release form SourceForge (2.3.12.zip)

extract all and uploaded on a new directory, called "fa" (555) under the root folder

first time didn't work, so i tried to change the permission of "fa" to (777)

every time i get the Error 500 Internal Server Error

do you have any idea? it is because something is nor as pre-requisites?

many thanks

Me too, however if you would find any problems despite all start tests has been passed successfully, do not forget to report found issue to FA Mantis bugtracker. This help us make FA better.

On first page of FA installer you will find system diagnostics info. When all tests are printed in green you can go ahead and your FA should be instalaed properly. Otherwise make described corrections and try again. There is no special need to tune your php.ini nor other server side configuration files, unless you encounter problems.
