500 Internal Server Error

I don't know why I get this message when I try to access the forums or the admin page. How can I fix this? Thank you!

You have own server or shared hosting? It could be related to PHP in FastCGI mode.

If it is shared hosting and you can look error_log, then paste here part where you
see that error or you can ask from hoster as well to have a look of the issue.

[2008-06-26 02:12:46]: error: directory is writable by others: (/home/*****/public_html/bostasian.com/orca)

thats what I get.

I changed the permission to 755 and its working now.

This means exactly that http server has some security module what checks for permissions
and denies them when writable for all. Safer but in some cases where apache needs to
write files to your directory or modify them and if you cant change owner also then your
kinda stuck. Maybe they have Suid, then it wont matter. I mean apache process runs
as your user.

Just Disable .htaccess and it's work well. Note : .htaccess in root folder of Orca may be hidden, just unhide it before edit or delete it's . Edit by add # before all line in .htaccess. It'll work for u. Regard
