Configuring wordpress hosted on cbeyond
I've successfully installed Wordpress on a site hosted by Cbeyond. Although I can access the administrative portion of wordpress, the public view (or a admin preview) comes up with a "HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): " Has anyone every successfully run wordpress off of Cbeyond hosting?

No :)
That's the version of the program used to visually manage your MySQL stuff. To find out which version of PHP this is, make a new file called version.php and just put the following code in it:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Then access the file from the browser. It will give us the PHP environment.

The other thing you might want to do is edit wp-config.php and turn on debugging:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Debug
If you can get to the backend, you may get some information about why it is failing there.

That's the right version. Can you switch the theme to TwentyEleven and try accessing again?

Did you set the debug flag to true in wp-config?
do you have access to your sites error log? I would look in there, blank empty screen almost always means php error.
ASKER
i did set the debug flag to true. Where are the logs stored?
It is different on different servers, the weird part is concerning your phpinfo result, is that error_log variable is not set, but log_errors is on.
you could check where you installed php for errorlog.txt or see if it is logging to event viewer...

i think this might be what we're looking for.. but it's not telling me anything.
ex111206.log
ex111206.log
That is the access log, it tells you what files are being read so you can build statistics etc... it is quite possible the error log is in the same folder as the access log.
I think you need to specify the location in your php.ini
please check this article about logging to the event viewer

I believe if you change it from syslog to the full path and name of the file you want your error_log data to go to it will write it there...

LOL.
I was going to suggest calling them to see if the server was messed up.
Anyway, switch to Dreamhost. Very WordPress-friendly and affordable.

php mode had to be changed to cgi mode.

Do you know what version of PHP they have?
