newbie - testing server compatibility issues

[ash]

hey,

after following the steps for uploading the test folder to my root
directory on my server and changing the permission I go to view the
testing page front-end with no joy, just an 'internal server error'.

Anybody come across this and know how to resolve?

Thanks,

Ash

ok, i've got the server test running now but with fails in:

Are PUT Requests Allowed? - fail

mod_rewrite - fail

I've contacted my host providers (eukhost) who have checked and state
that the above should not fail.

Is there anything I've missed or should do, can anyone help? I don't
have the money to pay for the extra support :(

This is something I've experiences as well. Get the same fails,
however my host says that there should not be a problem.

All the requirements are there.

yeah, I really can't see what's up and the only solution I've been
given is to switch my server to MT which i didn't mind untill i found
out it will double my server costs for exactly what I'm currently
offered.

Not exactly an ideal solution for cost or general hassle in moving
everything.

The most annoying thing is that 'eukhosts' claim to have everything in
order and have followed everything to suit the requirements so
ofcourse tell me to ask the dev guys here to help. Switching servers
seems to me as if I'm kind of getting palmed off a little...

I was expecting better support...

...from media temple that is...

right, I've found out what I was doing wrong I think. I left the
dbhost as 'localhost' when I shouldn't have. complete idiot!!

Anyway all is well in the camp!!
