ParticipantHi,
Setup wizard > pre installation wizard crashed my site and I got a 500 internal server error.
What steps should I take now to get back in and find the fault?regards,

KeymasterMost likely you have invalid/bad htaccess code saved in BPS Custom Code. Do these steps to fix the issue/problem.
1. Use FTP or your web host control panel file manager and delete your root and wp-admin htaccess files.
2. Login to your site.
3. Go to BPS Custom Code and Export your Custom Code.
4. Click the Delete button to delete all of your custom code.
5. Run the Pre-Installation Wizard and Setup Wizard.
6. Send your Custom Code Export zip file: cc-master.zip to: info at ait-pro dot com so we can tell you which custom code is invalid/bad.Chris Moon
ParticipantThanks for the advice, it worked perfectly.
regards
Chris

KeymasterThe invalid/bad htaccess code (highlighted in yellow below) has been fixed in the cc-master.zip file that you sent to me. I have sent the new fixed cc-master.zip file back to you. Use the Custom Code Import tool and import the new cc-master.zip file into Custom Code.

Thanks for the replies, but I am turning my attention to another problem for now – unless the PHP error somehow detracts from BPS Pro’s performance?My other problem is that I can’t install BPS Pro on a site after moving the site to a new domain and host. Before moving the site, I removed the plugin and deleted the backup folder. On the new site I can upload and install the zip, but when I click on ‘Activate’ I get a 500 server error. The only way to get back into the site is to then delete the backup and BPS plugin folders which have already been generated. The htaccess files have to that point not been edited by BPS yet. So what can be causing this issue?

ParticipantWell I got it to ‘activate’ the plugin by removing all BPS tables from the db. But then when I actually try to activate the security on the activation page, when I click ‘Get Activation Key’ it gives an internal server error.
P.s. I love this plugin – it’s already saved my bacon a few times.

ParticipantI got around the server error at the activation stage by getting the activation key from the Download Area. But now when I run the set-up wizard it gives the same internal server error.

Keymaster@ Haiko – Do these steps here and let me know if this fixes the problem: http://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/set-up-wizzard-gave-500-internal-server-error/#post-29622
