No config.ini.php file error on installation (1 reply)

Hi. I tried searching the forum, but could not find an answer to this.

I am new to piwik. I tried following the installation instructions, but get the HTTP 500 error on the system checklist.

500
GET request to piwik.php failed. Try whitelisting this URL from HTTP Authentication and disable mod_security (you may have to ask your webhost). For more information about the error, check your web server error log file.
After making this change, restart your web server.

I don't have mod_security enabled.

I get this error in the Apache logs:

Can anybody help? Thanks.
