[cobalt-users] [Raq3] Broken and Erroring Control Panel/Admin System

[Harper Reed <harper@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
Ok i have read the list for awhile and i haven't been 
able to find anything that deal with this problem. I 
checked the cobalts knowledgebase, and found one 
solution, but i haven't been able to fix it by 
following the directions they suggested. So here it 
goes. 

After installing both MySql and PHP4 somewhat 
successfully(a pain actually) my control panel broke. 
When i log into it(http://mydomain.com/admin or using 
port 81), it gives me a 500 Server error: 

The server encountered an internal error or 
misconfiguration and was unable to complete your 
request. 

If you check the solution given by the knowledgebase 
people( http://www.cobalt.com/support/kb/search.php3?
ques=admin%
2525252525252Bfrontpage&qid=448&language=1 ), they 
suggest the following(cut directly from above link):

1. Telnet into the server as root. 
2. Edit the file /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf/and make 
the following changes: 
          <Directory /home/sites/>
          AllowOverride All 
          </Directory> 
3. Save the changes and restart the server: 

I have done this, and to no avail everything(the admin 
system) is still broke. 
Thanks in advance for any help given.
