500 errors with Magento upgrade / installation

July 26th, 2008 by Christopher Calvi ·

I was getting 500 errors after an installation. After surfing some forums I learned that the permissions should be the following (magento/ being your root Magento folder).  For some reason, they weren’t necessarily correct by default:

777

  • magento/var/.htaccess
  • magento/app/etc
  • magento/var
  • all the directories under magento/media

755

  • magento/
  • magento/install.php
  • magento/index.php

644

  • all other files

Hope this helps anyone who may have been in the same situation.
