I'm trying to move my xenforo installation from one domain to another.
The new hosting provider have PHP version 5.2.17.
Can that cause 500 internal server error when you point to forum.domain.com/install
Thanks in advance for your reply guys :)
 
XenForo is compatible with PHP 5.2.4 and later.

Is there anything in the server error logs?

If you have moved from one domain to another, why are you installing?
Was it an existing install you moved?
 
Thanks for the quick reply :)
I cant access the error logs (asking the hosting provider just now).
I want to delete the installation from a project that didn't succeed and install it on a domain with e-commerce site for support. That's why I went for a new install, but still getting the 500 error.
 
Unfortunately a 500 error is very generic so we really need to see some logs.

If you view the page source is there any more information?
 
Thats all i get from the page source. Hopefully I get the error log soon

Issue resolved. My hosting provider said there was error in the htaccess file i uploaded :confused::
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .*redis.bg
RewriteRule (.*) /redis/$1 [L]

I have no idea what they did, but now the installation is complete.
Thanks for the quick support.
