cPanel Import problem

[rodpascoe]

When you import a cPanel backup account one thing always happens and another sometimes happens.

First thing is you always have to fix permissions as you immediately get a 500 server error.

Also, sometimes databases get half their tables missed off so you don't notice as it looks fine until you spot errors!

How did you correct the 500 error? I tried using the fix permission in the cp but it didn't fix it.

Make sure the .htaccess file is also owned by the right group/owner and make sure it doesn't have any illegal directives for the php handler that you are using as if you had for example DSO on cPanel then the apache directives won't work.
