500 internal server error

hautedotcc

my thumbnails aren't showing up and when I click on the link to the gallery, I get a 500 internal server error. see this here:

http://haute.cc/hauteblog/wp-content/plugins/zenphoto/

I tried changing these in the zp_config.php, but the same exact thing happens:

// define('WEBPATH', '/wp-content/plugins/zenphoto/albums');
// define('SERVERPATH', 'http://www.haute.cc/hauteblog/wp-content/plugins/zenphoto/');

Did you edit your .htaccess file to reflect the path?

Make sure you change it from
`RewriteBase /zenphoto`
to
`RewriteBase /hauteblog/wp-content/plugins/zenphoto`

thank you! I'm so grateful for someone willing to help, but I'm terrified I'm going to frustrate you with my limited knowledge.

I edited the .htaaces file to reflect the path exactly as you said, and I went back in and opened the file (using fetch) after I uploaded it to verify it saved correctly. it did. but now, i can't get into my zen admin or setup. it just takes me back to my blog.

if I type in the exact path, I still get the 500 internal server error.

I tried changing these back to their original settings but the same thing happened. so I changed them back because this is how they were when you originally looked at my problem. do you think this is wehre the error is?

// define('WEBPATH', '/wp-content/plugins/zenphoto/albums');
// define('SERVERPATH', 'http://www.haute.cc/hauteblog/wp-content/plugins/zenphoto/');

@haute-

You may try moving your installation away from within your blog structure. Wordpress may be interfering with zenphoto's ability to display properly, as they each have their own sets of .htaccess files. Anything underneath the wordpress tree will be subject to the wordpress .htaccess rules and therefore may present problems.

I would install zenphoto in its own directory from the root, that way that should rule out any influence wordpress may have with it.

This also will have the side benefit of not affecting wordpress upgrades later on down the road....

Does that make sense?

hi! thanks so much for trying to help. yes, that makes sense. my home folder has:

hautedotcc

sorry. I moved away from the page before it finished posting.

my home folder has:

backup
cgi-bin
htdocs

I tried to upload to here but it won't let me (should it?) so I put it in htdocs with fetch and changed my .htaccess file inside /zenphoto to read

okay. it's here now and it made it through the setup phase. thumbnails still not showing, same 500 internal server error. ???

So long as you have it within the /hauteblog/ directory, it is still "subject to the wordpress .htaccess rules and therefore may present problems."

GameDudeX and thinkdreams, thank you so much for helping me! it's still not working, but it's making considerable progress. it looks like a thumbnail issue? look at it now:

http://haute.cc/zenphoto

and there's a gallery called
/Holga
