to install JohnCMS, you need to:

• create database
• upload all files
• point your browser to http://yourdomain/com/install/
• follow on screen instruction
• set CHMOD 755 for folder /incfiles
• set CHMOD 644 for /incfiles/db.php
• DELETE folder install

thats all... and it's also written in INSTALL.txt
installation is done in less then 5 minutes...
v4.40 works perfect with ALL functions also on localhost,
tested on XAMPP v 1.7.7

I removed the htaccess file and in the johncms script, i did not see any tin lyk db.php

you can see db.php ONLY AFTER installation in done...
file will be created during installation
and will contain all needed info for DB connection...
if you dont see that file in folder INFILES,
then something went wrong with installation

btw.. thers no need to remove .htaccess..

Even after that, is stil get internal server error

create file phpinfo.php
put this code in it:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

upload file to your host,
point browser to the file
and check if you got proper versions of
PHP, MySQL

• 1) PHP version 5.1 or higher
• 2) MySQL version 4.1 or higher

and another thing to check

#php_flag display_errors 0
php_value error_reporting 7
php_value register_globals 0
php_flag session.use_trans_sid off
php_value magic_quotes_gpc 0
php_value magic_quotes_runtime 0
php_value magic_quotes_sybase 0
php_value allow_url_fopen 0
php_value arg_separator.output "&"


Some servers does not allow php_value or php_flag

Delete this line to fix your error.

arg_separator.output

I'm not sure about mbstring, but i think some component is missing on your host
as for the arg_separator.output it should be just setting in php.ini
for both, you should consult with your host owner
