Resolution
for Internet Explorer Error 
There are many instances when you are
going in for the Joomla website set up and you have
recently gone in for an upgrade you often may be faced
with the 500 internal server error
on the website. In order to address the solution you
should get in for the fresh Joomla installation that
also includes a file called the .htaccess that is located
in the primary folder of the Joomla installation. This
file is one that also contains some configuration settings
that also may have a conflict with the present web server
configuration and this result could also be a 500
internal server error that is shown when you
are about to view the website. After you get this error
message you can determine quickly whether the .htaccess
file is causing this error and this can be solved by
renaming the .htaccess file or disabling it. With the
help of this you have the option to resolve the problem
and determine the exact root cause of the 500
internal server error problem. This should
be carried out within the directives of the .htaccess
files and this would depend on us on whether we should
remove it or comment on it. In order to address the
500 internal server error problems
on the Joomla website you require opening the .htaccess
files with the plain text editor and you also have the
option to edit it with the File Manager on the web hosting
site that you own. When you are doing this you should
look for this line –
Options+ FollowSymLinks
When you have located this line you require to add a
# in front of it so that it would look like this-
#Options+FollowSymLinks
Once this is enabled you can install the Joomla application
and solve the 500 internal server error
that is displayed on the screen.
