500 Internal Server Error when install in localhost

[vigentocommerce]

Hey, I got 500 Internal Server Error when start install in localhost http://localhost/magento2-master/setup/
What happen, it is localhost in window so no permission wrong here. Please help.

Thank you in advanced!

500 is a generic error which may be caused by several reasons. Can you please provide the log details (var/log) for this particular error you get?

i ahve the same problem on loca and here is the log

[Thu Dec 11 14:57:51.404916 2014] [core:alert] [pid 19000] [client 127.0.0.1:45651] /home/user/www/magento2-test/magento2/setup/.htaccess: Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

[Crustymd]

Ok so in case anybody will have this issue on a locallinux server probably you jsut do not have the mod_rewrite enabled.

To fix this for linux you jstu enter simple 2 commands:

ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/rewrite.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/rewrite.load
sudo service apache2 restart

Worked nice for me

Rather than soft linking, sudo a2enmod rewrite is the better way to do it. What it does essentially is create the soft link, but it makes it easier to disable by sudo a2dismod rewrite.

@Crustymd you are correct, I have to enable mod_rewrite in localhost to make it work.

In any case, we do not recommend using local host as a domain, because you may have a problem with the cookies

[vigentocommerce]

@kandy agreed

This seems to be resolved already: https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/develop/setup/.htaccess -- now the "RewriteEngine" is enclosed into "IfModule", so it should not produce runtime error:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine Off
</IfModule>

Closing this ticket as already resolved.

@jaatr I would recommend you head over to the Community Forums or Magento Stack Exchange site for technical questions and/or assistance debugging an issue. If you have a bug report with steps to reproduce, then open a new issue with that and environment information, thanks!
