 * I installed WordPress to [http://louisprimajr.com/build](http://louisprimajr.com/build)
   
   I already have a WordPress site running, and am using this database to rebuild.
   The first thing I did was on Settings / Permalings, changed to “Post Name” I 
   clicked save changes. I then attempted to go to Themes to upload a theme and 
   received “500 (Internal Server) Error” I clicked back in browser, and tried another
   page, again error. I closed browser and attempted to login again [http://louisprimajr.com/build/wp-admin](http://louisprimajr.com/build/wp-admin)
   and received the error. This is the second isntall that this has happened. How
   do I fix please.
