new exponent upload crashed my site again

#1188

Dear Exponent: I backed up my website and then unzipped the new versions of exponent 2.3.0 and 2.3.0 patch 1. When I did this and checked my site, I get an 500 Internal Server Error as follows:
"Internal Server Error

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

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@nicerlab.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 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I thought all I had to do was unzip the files.

    Does this mean that the permission of the zip file needs to be changed to 755? It was extracted in the root web folder. I uploaded zip file to the root web folder and then extracted to that folder. I'm trying again with the new permissions on the zip file. I'm the only user so that's not the problem.

    This only ever happens when I try to update the site. I would like to know why and how. It does not seem to be a permissions issue. You worked on my site last time and it took quite some time to get it working again. You never told me what you did to fix it. Perhaps it is the same problem. I'm going to try and restore a backup which I did before the update. Can you please let me know what you did last time when this happened?

    The link you sent was not an email. It was from hostgator's site. I don't understand how a new exponent can be sent out without checking to see if it works. I am seriously considering switching to wordpress as exponent is not very user friendly.
