Pandos, if ever I am in Germany I will hunt you out and kiss you! My localhost copy of Wedge has never worked but your suggestion sorted it out :) (If fact for me it was the compress CSS that fixed it.) Thank you thank you :D
:yobrother: Cool, it works for you.
But why did you say nothing before? Or do I need new glasses?

I had a problem installing, which at the time was thought to be a problem with Zend Server. I fixed that problem by playing with the folder permissions but got the no-skin screen. Of course I assumed that this was down to Zend Server so didn't post :)

How exactly is this topic 'fixed' and 'archived' when I didn't get a chance to participate in the last page of debates and there is clearly a fault in Wedge that prevents it from working out of the box on some setups..?

Seriously I need to get more info...

Execution of PHP files isn't the problem.
Problem is that the installer have to move some files and directories. This fails with error 500.
And yes, the biggest culprit is to become write access to this folder.
So for that we can check with php_uname for Ubuntu and display some hints to the user.

The question for me: is it only Ubuntu? No!
What if someone with with another OS creating a directory under root and point the webserver to this directory?
Sorry to say that, but there will be always special cases for different setups.  I think that in a "normal" setup the installer works just fine. So it's save to have a web installer.
So I don't see any issues related to Wedge.
