    Hello, I am trying to install Newscoop in a subdirectory and I can't seem to get it. All I'm getting is a 500 error. 
    HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request." Which of course is not helpful at all.

    I am trying to install it on mediatemple Grid Service. Here: 
    http://mediatemple.net/webhosting/gs/ 

    I have checked the error logs and don't see anything else. 

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Dave,

    If you are trying Newscoop 4.0 any of the RCs then it should work. However, we recently got a report from another user experimenting issues with a rule in the .htaccess file. You can have a look here in our ticket system http://dev.sourcefabric.org/browse/CS-4029

    He reported and offered a solution, it may be the same issue you are having.

    Best,

    Dave, if you can look at error log file of server. But it seems the problem is with function "FollowSymLinks" in your apache configuration file .htacces. Many hosting providers don`t support this function so you have to replace it with:
    +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
    or comment parameter with: 
    #
    Good luck!
