Http 500 error

[Goiler]

Go to http://apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html and download an all-in-one web server called XAMPP, and install it on your computer. Then, go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin, and click to set up a new blank database.

 

When going to http://localhost I get an error message.

Http 500 error. I am using ie and it doesn't seem to work. Anyone have a solution to the problem. Thank you in advance.

I use IE and Firefox and have no problem at all with XAMPP, other than the upload.php file which I advised you to edit.

 

It seems to be a configuration error - something perhaps didn't go right when installing.

 

One thing you can check out is to see if register_globals is set to 'Off' in your php.ini file. Do a search on your computer for php.ini, open it in NotePad, and search for register_globals. When you find it, if it says 'Off' set it to 'On'.
