Error 500 after fresh reinstall with softaculous Magento 2.2.2 CE

[mikeguy82]

So my site crashed after I decided to upgrade from 2.2.2 to 2.2.3, I could not get it back up. It was a fresh install using Softaculous. So I decided to uninstall using softaculous and install 2.2.2 again.

Now I am getting HTTP Error 500. 

Did something change when I tried to initially upgrade to 2.2.3? but anyhow I uninstalled and started fresh again.

some errors in the apache log:

[:error]  script '/home/playsports/public_html/index.php' not found or unable to stat

and another error

[proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 3335] AH01071: Got error 'Primary script unknown\n'

But these errors don't log when I access the site, it's just the only errors I see in the log.

What I have done is uninstalled using the magento command 

php bin/magento setup:uninstall

Then i deleted the 'magento2' folder I initially created.

Then I used softaculous to reinstall in a new folder called 'magento' 

Finally not getting any more http 500 errors. All good.
