I have successfully installed Magento here http://lowpew.com/_magento, but when the installation was complete, and the 2 links appear, for Front End and Back End, the following happens:
- Front End site - first page is displayed but no other link works, for every link there is an Error 404;
- Back End site - this doesn’t show at all, I reckon it is because no ‘admin’ folder was created during the installation.
I’ve made an extension available which fixes the non-working admin menu: adminmenu fix So you can try the method suggested in Post #41 without having to hack the core code. Since the method doesn’t seem to work for everyone the extension will not work for everyone either. It works great on my own installation so worth a try until the issue is resolved by the Varien team. Good luck
I tried to access the downloader as you suggested in the extension, but if I go to http://www.link-to-magento-site.com/downloader I get a 500 internal server error. is it the right link or can I access it some other way?

Sorry, I fixed the problem by downloading the new Head.php and replaced the old one.
@FOOMAN: From what I’ve seen, error 500 can be directly related to admin menus not unfolding, because this happens due to failure to load admin javascripts which are combined using js/proxy.php.
If you use Firefox/Firebug, you might see in Firebug/Net tab error 500 for all javascript connections.

chmod 755 js js/proxy.php
and see if it works.
This worked perfect for me. Thank you.
Although I’m not really happy that I’m already having problems with the production version.
For me it wasn’t related to permissions, If you have set the correct permission and still facing the same issue and you have
access to your server’s php.ini,
- backup your php.ini
- Find “zlib.output_compression” option in php.ini and set it to On
- look for “output_handler = ob_gzhandler” and comment it out (if applicable)
- Restart the apache
- Clear your browser’s cache and reload the admin page
- Enjoy administrating
It basically inserts each javascript file individually as the proxy method doesn’t seem to work for everyone. Hopefully the next version will fix the issue.
Don’t know if this will help others or was only a problem for me. I installed Magento-1.0.19700 which installed fine however couldn’t view front or back end.
What fixed my problem.
In my Apache configuration file I changed the following:
AllowOverride None
to
AllowOverride All
Because I noticed the .htaccess file in the magento folder has quite a lot of settings and without that setting the .htaccess file wasn’t working. Now it’s working 100%.
