OK, so I've installed the site in a sub folder on the same server and its working fine, so I'm guessing it must be some weird server issue. My question is now: can I set it up so I can view the site in root and have the manager installed in the sub folder?
I can't use mod_rewrite on this server.

Check the config.core.php file in the manager folder. It may be that you need to edit that to properly point to the core. I've had that (among other config errors) cause 500 errors.
With Revolution, you can put the Manager folder anywhere as long as it's accessible by URL (in theory). You'll need to adjust config.inc.php and possibly do an upgrade install.

there are a number of lines that need to be edited in the config.inc.php file. It's easy to miss one. There's also two places where the database name needs to be changed. I'm not sure why this line doesn't use the previously defined variables:
$database_dsn = 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=mydb;charset=utf8';
