Hi,
I have run into a problem with a fresh install of Moodle 2.5.1 Stable on a local server. Following the installation docs everything should be right. I have checked and rechecked permissions etc and can find no difference from this installation and any I have done in years past except that the new PHP 5.4 does not have the same configuration options in the php.ini file and I am thinking that could be the cause. info.php runs in the moodle and moodle/admin folders so it does not appear to be a permissions error.
Does anyone have any experience with this 500 error (which is pretty vague) and dealing with current the Debian stable packages Moodle combo (mySQL 5.531, PHP 5.4.4-14)? Are these packages to new or is there something else I am missing? Any help appreciated at this point.
Thanks,
