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

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] 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 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
As the error states, sounds like something is misconfigured with the server, so contact them.
It could be any number of things...permissions, etc.
Anyone have a more helpful answer?
The chances are it's nothing to do with MyBB.

Make a file with some text in, upload it, and see if you can view it. If you can't, the server just isn't responding, and my 'not helpful' comment would be correct.

If however you can see it, are you using the default htaccess that comes with MyBB??

I used my cpanel to make a backup of the forum on the other server. So it was zipped as is and restored as is. So the answer is, I'm not sure. How can i know?
Here it is:

OK, now it gets weirder.
I can now access admin and the board is up. But when I try to do anything in ADMIN like change a configuration, I get >>
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /forum/admin/index.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Ok, that's just mod_security. This is common in affecting the ACP and you'll have to ask your host to whitelist your domain/account against it.
Got it....thanks. I was just gonna post that I found a solution here>> http://community.mybboard.net/thread-414...=forbidden

In fact, it was your solution. i have a ticket into them. Lets see what they say.
They should just be able to whitelist you from it, but if they don't, or claim it isn't the blame (as some hosts seem to), it is the cause, and if they won't do anything about it you'd have to move host. Hope they do sort it though.
