I'm pretty new to the use of PHP, so forgive me if I sound incredibly ignorant. But, hopefully I've put this post in the right place.
I recently downloaded this PHP script called iScript which is designed to basically manage your webcomic page for you. I get it all uploaded onto the site according to what it says to put up, then I make sure to change the permissions on the istrip_files directory to 777, and then go into my browser, go to the directory where I'm supposed to go to install and it gives me:
HTTP 500 Internal Server Error - Page Cannot be Displayed
Originally it was giving me a similar error through my actual host (awardspace) that basically told me the permissions were wrong, which is when I used SmartFTP to make sure the directory was marked according to the FAQ. So, I'm sort of at a loss now as to what has gone wrong.
What do I need to do to make sure this code will work properly?
