Delete the line in modules/Reviews/index.php

Code:

$text = urlencode($text);

I would recommend downgrading to 7.6.. and then upgrading to RavenNuke!
Use the downgrader script from

I think Raven himself told me the downgrader script doesn't work with 7.9. That's the reason I've been stuck on this d*** thing (7.9) for so long. LOL.

No, anything is possible if you have the experience and time to do it.

I could have sworn actually that the downgrader would work going from 7.9 to 7.6, or at least get you a heck of a lot closer.

maffie, I would search here on "downgrading" or "downgrade nuke" as there there are definitely steps to go from 7.9 down to a RN install. You make it sound way to "easy" which is why I am thinking you have missed some things and are getting the 500.

BTW, a "Server error 500" is almost always an issue with your .htaccess file. You might want to look there first.

The environment you are using on your PC requires the GD libraries.
