Hi everybody,
I just tried to install drupal for the first time. I followed all the instructions and
I modified the settings.php like that:
$db_url = 'mysql://U******:pwd@rdbms.strato.de/DB*****';
$db_prefix = '';
$base_url = 'www.mysite.com/drupal';
(which is the folder containing drupal on my server!)
If I now enter 'www.mysite.com/drupal' in my Iexplorer, I get the following error:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, service@webmailer.de and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
The server log is emtpy :(
Maybe you should know, that my webhoster has the php safe mode enabled.
Does anybody know what my problem is?
Thanks for your answers,
Bernd

Try disabling (removing, renaming) .htaccess
I've run across this error on servers that don't allow .htaccess overrides, and solved it by removing the .htaccess file. No doubt this is only one of many possible causes, but worth trying if you haven't.
Thank you nedjo!
Indeed, now see the login screen! Thank you very much!
But I guess I lose a bit of security by working without the .htaccess, don't I?
And what could this mean? It is displayed on top of the login page:
warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started /mnt/kw1/04/466/00000019/htdocs/drupal/includes/common.inc:1) in /mnt/kw1/04/466/00000019/htdocs/drupal/includes/common.inc on line 99.
Thank you again,
Bernd
The forum helped!
Seems like the "Cen not modify ..." problem was due to some whitespaces or CR at the end of some *.php files.
But the question remains: What do I lose without the .hraccess?
Thank you,
Bernd
There's a little bit of stuff in htaccess
... I don't know exactly what it all does, but if you look through an original unmodified Drupal htaccess file you will see all the things that Drupal expects the htaccess file to do in order to run as intended ...
It would be better if you had the htaccess for Drupal to use. A lot of things to work around or try to make work other ways without it.
Ask yur hosting to enable htaccess would be my best guess, second change to one that allows htaccess.
IMHO

It's what we've been looking for!
But I guess I lose a bit of
Yes. Mainly (so far as I can see), your files (modules, themes, etc.) can be read directly.
The warning comes from output (text, extra line returns) that precedes a header. Not sure why you're getting it.
