Hi all..
I'm trying to install Wordpress on my PlusNet webspace - I've done the following:-
Enabled PHP v5.6 in the PHP Manager
Setup a MySQL database
Copied all the Wordpress files into this directory ---> http://ccgi.<username>.plus.com/wordpress
However, when I go my webspace, I get the following error:-
500 Internal Server Error
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, or webmaster and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Am I missing something?
Would appreciate any advice?
Fixed! Go to the fix.

Yes it is..
I've even put Gabe's script (from another thread) in the public directory:-
However, If I go to any of :-
http://ccgi.yesfan.plus.com/public/wordpress
- I still get the 500 Internal Server error
Any ideas?

Give it another blast now at the /wordpress URL, should be working.
It's something to do with the PHP Manager. When selecting a different version of PHP it's adding an .htaccess entry that's causing problems:
AddHandler phpCGI .xml .php Action phpCGI /cgi-bin/php5.6fcgi
I've changed you back to PHP 5.3 (shouldn't cause problems with Wordpress, and will be upgraded at the end of the month anyway) and renamed your .htaccess files to htaccess.bak and htaccess.bak2

As Bob mentioned using PHP Manager to change the PHP version to 5.6 has some undesirable side effects. WordPress will work fine with the present PHP 5.3 default and I suggest staying with that..
If you go to http://ccgi.<yourusername>.plus.com/wordpress the configuration process starts (with the Choose Language) page. I assume you'll want English (UK).

A word of caution! Some plug-ins - notably the recent upgrade to Xcloner - now require PHP 5.4 as a minimum. Had to upgrade PHP on two sites yesterday.

Thanks @MauriceC
My installed copies of WordPress work OK with PHP 5.6. However PHP versions selected using PHP Manager run as fastcgi rather than Apache modules. That means any PHP directives in .htaccess files are ignored - you have to set them in customised php.ini files. PHP Manager assists with creating the required files but it is also necessary to replace some of the default configuration settings. I won't expand on this here.
Getting 500 Internal Server Errors is often caused by having disallowed configuration directives in .htaccess - that might have been the problem @Stampy had here (rather that selection of PHP 5.6).
However sight of the .htaccess files in webspace root (/) and document root (/public) would be needed for diagnosis.
