Hi...my apologies if this has already been covered. I must not be searching for the right thing, because the answers I read and tried did not work.
I’m trying to install Modx Revolution on a 1&1 server (I know...a dirty word) and everything checks out ok...connects to the database, etc. And once I hit install I get a Error 500 - Internal Server Error. I updated the .htaccess file to the proper directory, but still no go.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
Did you check that php has enough memory? If I recall correctly Revo needs 64MB to install or I think it gives 500 errors.
Also this section of the forums might already have the answer to your question (

Cool...I check out that resource. It was quite a pain to get it to run. I think I tried nearly 20 different settings, etc.

I’m running into the same problem, what did you end up changing to get past the Error 500?
I’ve run CHMOD, renamed and modified .htaccess... but still having no luck.

I got this error with Hostgator. They only give me 64MB memory_limit and 30 second max_execution
But that wasn’t the problem.
Turns out all I had to do was set permissions back to 755 after I got done installing everything and it worked just fine.

This can also happen if your MySQL user don't have the correct permissions to the database. Usually the modX installer will tell you it doesn't but I just ran into a case where it appeared successful but i got the 500 error after install. I checked the modX error log in core/cache/logs and saw that the database tables hadn't been created. Fixed my db permissions , re ran setup, problem gone.
