Decided to install a fresh download of the newest version to my server and when I went to set it up I received a 500 server error. I already have a completed version 1.62 working fine on another domain on the same server. What did I miss?

Okay I discovered that I had to set the install file and index.php file to 755 before it would work. After the installation I set the index file back to 644 and deleted the install file. All works now.

Version 1.6.2? This is a very outdated one...

Yes I know which is why I wanted to install the newer version so I could transfer everything over to it from the older version.

I had tried in the past to upgrade but it kept failing even with the following script: https://github.com/anaggh/bludit-script ... /migration

Because I don't have many posts to move I decided it was easier to do it this way and now is all good. Just having issues with logo and other appearance stuff that I will work out.

You may want to add to the install document that permissions have to 755 in order to install as I don't see that in the documents:
