Hello after installation i am not able to open backend portal.
There has been an error processing your request
Exception printing is disabled by default for security reasons.

Hi, Sanjay! I looked through some Magento resources and it looks like clearing your cache ( var/cache in your Magento installation folder, or System > Cache Management > Flush Cache Storage from the admin panel) solves this a lot of the time.
If that is not enough, head over to var/report, which will contain a report matching the error number you posted above, which should give you more information to troubleshoot from. Hope that helps!
I have tried installing magento using Softaculous and also did have same permissions as u mentioned but still i am facing 500 Internal server error. I also removed .htacces from the directory i gets load but misses out CSS JS and images i have searched everywhere but no luck
Hello,
Sorry for the problems with the Magento installation. We have people using it, so I’m not sure what could be happening with your installation. If you are an InMotion Hosting customer, please contact our live technical support team. They can access the Web Server logs and help get a more specific error that could provide an answer to the 500 internal error that you’re seeing. This error message is very general and needs to be more specific in order for us to determine why you are unable to load it. You can reach our live support team via phone/chat/email 24 hours a day / 7 days a week (contact information is at the bottom of the page).
I could not install the magento version 2.2.6 while installing the message comes
The following errors were found :
Do you wish to enable PHP 7.2.12 ? (Might cause issues with your existing installations).
so any solution for this.
If you have an InMotion Hosting account then you can go into cPanel and change the PHP version. If you are using a VPS or Dedicated server account where this option is not available, then please notify our live tech support team and they can add it into your account for you.
False. I’ve tried this and I’m getting a 500 error when I try to access the setup page. When I contacted tech support they told me it’s probably not compatible so I don’t understand why this page even exists if Magento won’t run on your server.
Hello,
Apologies for the problem with the Magento installation. After looking into the matter, we found that the 500 error is probably due to some folder permission settings. Check out this link for the proper settings that you can modify in the Softaculous settings. Uninstall the current installation with Softaculous then try re-installing once more the settings in place. If the error persists, please let us know.
