. I'm running on a 1and1 web host with a 1and1 Business Package. I believe it meets all the prerequisites.
All I see in the access error log that appears to be about this is (although I cannot tell for sure):
66.249.71.117 - - [16/Aug/2011:10:56:15 -0400] "GET /component/content/21/21 HTTP/1.1" 500 1476 test.folkworks.org "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +www.google.com/bot.html)" "-"Any ideas at all? I don't see this issue covered in the FAQ.This is Joomla 1.5.23. and Mobile-Joomla1.0-RC2.

What do you have in error_log?

I don't have an error_log file. I am running on a shared web host - 1and1 Business Package. They do not allow the ErrorLog directive so I cannot create my own error_log file.

What else can you suggest?

Hello? Is this thread dead? or is somebody working on it?

Ask your hoster for error_log (it's impossible that there is no error log).
Most likely PHP is runned via FastCGI and webserver kill connection to PHP after short timeout (usually MobileJoomla takes 25-60 sec to be installed).

I ftp'd the package to the sites /tmp directory and then unpacked it and installed from there. No problem doing it that way...
1and1 is one of the largest web hosting providers in the world. I think you want to figure out what the underlying problem is, along with a better solution that this workaround, so you don't get buried in reports like mine.

The thing seems to work pretty well out of the box - and I don't know anything about mobile web stuff. I'm testing usings firefox's mobile web browser and I'm not totally sure what that is doing - it seems to support 5 flavors of 'mobile web', so I don't really know what people might see who are limited to just WAP or one of the other mobile web standards.

Hi Could you please me how you unpacked and installed it? 
I have exact same problem (1and1 Bus & Error 500)  I was thinking to ftp it but having a look at all the files I cant fine an installer. 

Any advice greatly appreciated
