WordPress – Receiving 500 internal server error installing WordPress on IIS 7 at GoDaddy

500-erroriis-7Wordpress

I have a virtual shared hosting plan on GoDaddy.

I am trying to set up WordPress on it. However, whenever I run /wp-admin/install.php I receive an internal 500 error.

What would cause this? I'm totally lost. I didn't think this would be difficult to get set up.

I ran into the same problem and managed to view the details of the error (Error 500) by making some changes at the web.config file. Check the link below for more information.

Tested it on GoDaddy and it's working. :)
