    Hello there,
    I got problem installing latest wordpress 4.6.1 manualy on my new domain (http://bistravel.it). I created root directory, downloaded wordpress installation and uploaded on the server. I also created database and user (with given password) offcourse. I`m shure I did everyting correctly (I did it many times).

    It`s says:
    The bistravel.it page isn’t working
    bistravel.it is currently unable to handle this request.
    HTTP ERROR 500

    Wordpress wp-config.php file (or wp-config-sample.php) is configured right, but wordpress should just start with the installation whatever wp-config.php is configured or not.

    I just installed xampp and tested offline to see and it works, the installation starts offline but the installation can not start on the server.

    Any suggestions please 🙂

    Could it be permissions?

    Thank you all… I solved the problem. Php on our hosting is old and the version is 5.3. I cant change it (update it) for now because we have travel site and he is working for about 10 years, if I change the PHP version our site goes upside-down.

    Ok, so I found older wordpress version (4.5.3) and the installation starts. When the installation finished I was able to update wordpress version to the latest version (4.6.1).
    Interesting part is that I was not able to install latest wordpress because of outdated php version, but I was able to update to the latest wordpress version after installation.

    Live long and prosper 🙂
