500 errors are usually related to something to do with the hosting platform. Sometimes hosts disallow certain directives in the .htaccess and therefore you could try temporarily removing this file and see if you can then access the site.

If you can then I would contact your host to find out which directives they are not allowing.

Since we don't have many details here I am shooting in the dark with this option.

ok it was the config file..

Is the config file supposed to be vertical in type as is a default config from normal nuk

when I view my config it goes horizontal and is a pain to read and ensure that it is correct..

Now I am having issues connecting to the MySql once I re-uploaded the Config file kinda stuck on the config editing since its all horizontal. and jammed together,.

anyone have a default config that I can get thats easier to read.

hmmm, that sounds like some bug with your editor. You should NOT be using notepad by the way (just in case you are)

i use crimson editor for basic text editing, free, easy..

Sounds like you have corrupt files. All files should be properly formatted. Make sure you are using a good ftp client. If you need a free one use FileZilla.
