It looks so good ... in the first moment.
But now: If I want to start the Admin-Panel, after fill in Username and Password the message above will apear. The site, that could not start, is ".../zp-core/admin.php#"
A view hours ago it works well.
The gallery starts without any problems.

Anybody got an idea ?
thx

    Most always related to a missing or wrong .htaccess file.

    "... missing or wrong .htaccess file ..."
    There is a .htaccess file in the startdirectory of the gallery, with the correct web path for the RewriteBase.
    Where must the file be located ?
    I think in the zenphoto directory, in my case "pic-gal", or in zp-core ?
    The first time, after updating, the admin-panel will starts correctly, but when I went out and start it again --> Error 500 ...

    I dont understand it, the version 1.2.9 works fine.
    Never change a running system *g*

    The htaccess file must be in the root, so "pic-gal" in your case. Best remove the htaccess file and let setup recreate it (there is also a template file within zp-core you can copy manually if that does not work for some reason).

    Btw, Never change a running system according to my US collegue the English term for this is "if it ain't broke don't fix it". Probably one of the German-English creations like "handy"..:-)

    I just upgraded and I'm getting error 500. Tried running setup several times with the same result. Admin works fine.
    I have tried deleting the .htaccess to let setup create it, didn't work.

    My structure is
    http://www.frofens.org <- this is my host, ROOT
    Zenphoto is installed on www.frofens.org/fotos, and a subdomain fotos.frofens.org.

    Anything I should check?

    First, if setup cannot delete the htaccess file, you have to do that manually via FTP.

    Second, you have to decide if you want to use www.frofens.org/fotos or fotos.forfens.org as the address for your Zenphoto install. You cannot use both if you want to use htaccess/modrewrite.
    The htaccess file requires are rewrite base and that would be different for those two addresses (/ vs /fotos). Which is a problem as a htaccess file can have only one rewrite base.
