Internal Server Error when downloading through Remository

[chrisdpierce]

I recently installed remository on the Joomla-based site I am developing, and get the following error when I try to download a document:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@ohioarchaeology.org 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.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

The same problem was posted elsewhere in this forum, and the solution was to move the site to a different server. We are trying to go live with the Joomla site soon, so would like to resolve this issue.

Most probably, some of the files has wron permissions. What I can advise you is to recursively set all the files in the remository folder to '755' and try again. If it does not help, you can look at the error_log and/or contact our tech support. They will be able to help you, I believe

I got the same message.
After looking at error_log I found that at com_remository_startdown was able to write for others.
I changed permissions to not and it worked.
