News Section Tutorial - 500 Internal Server Error

I'd get it working by using the default settings (like how the structure is when you unzip it). Test it in the browser and make sure you see the default welcome screen. Then start altering it. I'd also use full paths for /system and /application if you move them.
Windows: "C:\path\to\system"
Linux: /path/to/system

But before you do anything, I'd check your php and apache error logs and see what it says about the 500 error since you already had it working and then it stopped after you were developing. 500 errors can also be caused by a bad .htaccess or apache config.
