Drupal 7 on LAMP Stack

I am trying to install ubuntu 10.04 lts using the below Lamp stack stackscript.

Installs a fully functioning, ready to go LAMP stack that's optimized specifically for your Linode's resources. By default, it creates a VirtualHost using the reverse DNS of your Linode's primary IP. 

Optionally creates a MySQL database and user, and assigns that user grants to the database.

You may use this as an example for creating more VirtualHosts. Set up VirtualHosts, install your sites, point your domains to your Linode, and you're set!

I get through the install.php file process, until the stage where you enter site name, user name and password. I enter the data and then when I click the "save and continue" button I get a HTTP 500 internal server error.

 Most likely causes:
•The website is under maintenance.
•The website has a programming error.

   What you can try: 
     Refresh the page. 

     Go back to the previous page. 

     More information 

This error (HTTP 500 Internal Server Error) means that the website you are visiting had a server problem which prevented the webpage from displaying.

For more information about HTTP errors, see Help.

I have looked through the apache2 error log, but nothing is showing up.

I appreciate any and all help.
