magento Showing Error:500 Internal server Error

Question

I upgraded My magento store form 1.6.2 to 1.7.0.2 but it is showing the Error:500 Internal server Error . I changed the File permissions also but it doesn't get solved. Cleaned the cache and sessions but it is not working. Can any body tell me how to Solve the problem?

Thanks...

By default Mageto switches errors output off. If your php is configured not to log php errors web server will send 500 error in case any fatal error occurs.

You can check errors in /var/log/exception.log and /var/log/system.log or enable output of all errors in your magento installation:

edit your index.php :

error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

and .htaccess:

SetEnv MAGE_IS_DEVELOPER_MODE "true"
