check the file permissions… directories should be 755 and files should be 644…  some hosts are picky and that is the most frequent cause of 500 errors…  also make sure you uploaded the simple-forum directory (or extracted it) in its entirety to the plugins directory…  of that is all good, I would try reuploading the files…

so wp and spf both brand new?  any other plugins?

Hallo Mr. Papa ( Nice nicename, i hopeLaughing)

yes, everything is brand new. I deactivate all the other pluhins:  the same!

I read that a the german wp-forum:

The short version:

.htaccess PHP5 switch on

Put this to .htaccess

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

Link http://forum.wordpress-deutschland.org/installation/35416-ploetzlicher-internal-server-error-im-backend.html

Thanks a lot for your time

well, cant read but some of the German (sprechen zie kinder Deutsch), but if adding the type and handler info to the htaccess file was an issue, then WordPress itself wouldnt work or any php code for that matter… 

SPF does not require php5 to work either…  did you verify the permissions on the files and directories?  If WP works with the plugin deactivated, then look at the SPF stuff you uploaded…

I'm having the same problem with Error 500 Internal Server Errors in ver. 2.5.1, despite having followed these directions about CHMOD settings. 

Maybe I'll try dropping back to an older WP version and see if that gets rid of it.

Otherwise, I'll keep monitoring the internet for solutions other people may find.

I am afraid these have me at a loss…  SPF worked with 2.5 and after upgrading to 2.5.1 you get 500 errors in the forum?  and they go away if you deactivate SPF?

Hello Mr. Papa

here is my result:

Fresh clean installation of WP2.51 German Version, hosted by 1und1.de

no other plugins and the Error 500 - Internal server error again.

I installed an SF Ver.303 at the same provider, same WP Version without any problems…

Do you have any ideas?

Greetings

Hallo there,

Here is my solution for the 500 error:

At first I put a .htaccess with

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php      in it to change to php5. No more 500 error.

Then I create a new database in MySQL 5.0

I get the error like this:

WordPress database error: [Table 'dbxxxx.wp_sfpermissions' doesn't exist]
SELECT forum_id, usergroup_id, permission_role FROM wp_sfpermissions ORDER BY permission_id

WordPress database error: [Table 'dbxxxx.wp_sfroles' doesn't exist]
SELECT role_id, role_actions FROM wp_sfroles ORDER BY role_id

WordPress database error: [Table 'dbxxxx..wp_sfmembers' doesn't exist]
SELECT user_id AS ID, display_name FROM wp_sfmembers WHERE pm = 1 ORDER BY display_name

WordPress database error: [Table 'dbxxxx..wp_sfmembers' doesn't exist]
SELECT * FROM wp_sfmembers WHERE user_id = 1

This error is also descripted here in some posts. After install I get this error-message:

DATABASE ERROR: Unable to ALTER the wp_sfforums to create new column

Looking into the database there is no SF- table! That means, the installroutine doesnt work!

Again: Installing a 303 SF works very well without any problems.

Do you have a idea?

I like  your great plugin and want to use it…

the mysql error is easy…  your host or your settings, but most likely your host is not allowing alter_table privileges in mysql…  for some silly reason some hosts by default dont allow that… simply ask them to turn it on and it will go away… most will if you ask them…

as to the php… if you want to run php5, some hosts require settings in your apache htacess, though I have never seen the x-map part…  spf does not require php5 to function though…

At First: It works!!

I installed all tables manualy by a self made sql-script based on the install.php.

After that you can install/update the forum via admin panel of WP.

For the users, who have the same prob. - ask here for my solution or sql-script

I think the install.php need a maintenance

unfortunately, for the several thousand it works for, there are also always a handful where the upgrade/install script does not work…  we are constantly looking to improve it…
