Question HTTP 500 Internal Server Error On Re-Installation

I had Kunena version 1.0.8 running on my website but for some reason Kunena started displaying error message and the discussions page could not be displayed. So I decided to un-install it using the uninstall component option in Joomla admin console and also removed all MySQL tables starting with jos_fb_*. After that I also removed the com_kunena folders from wwwroot/components/ and wwwroot/administrator/components/.

Then I downloaded Kunena version 1.5.8 and tried to install it using Joomla (admin console) install option. But after clicking the "Upload File & Install" button after a while I get an error message "HTTP 500 Internal server error" with web page displaying the following:

The website cannot display the page
Most likely causes:

- The website is under maintenance
- The website has programming error

I wonder what have I done wrong. I have tried so many times to install it but always I get this error.


Your kind assistance will be highly apprciated.

Try Help with solving the HTTP 500 Internal server error

I appreciate your kind reply but do you think what I have done so far is okay. Do you think there is any issue on the hosting server because I need to start from somewhere. Since the install option in Joomla Admin console is not installing it automatically so do you think there is any manual way of installing Kunena like copying files, creating MySQL tables and doing some manual configurations etc.

Your kind assistance will be highly appreciated.

Hello austinpowers

You had Kunena 1.0.8.
Could it his, that you still used Joomla 1.0.x?
Kunena 1.5.x is Joomla 1.5 Native component and will not run in Joomla 1.0.x

Hi,

I appreciate your kind reply. I am still using Joomla 1.5 and never used Joomla 1.0.x. I have tried to re-install both 1.0.8 and 1.5.8 but I get the same error message.

I have tried installing Kunena using Mozilla Firefox browser too and receive the following error message:

PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in \Domains\domainname.com\wwwroot\libraries\joomla\filesystem\folder.php on line 111

Your kind assistance will be highly appreciated. Thank you...
