I think you're having problems with your permalinks. Search "google" for these keywords. Permalink error and .htaccess. You will get some help for sure.
You get 404 because there is no .htaccess file so no rewriting is being done. 500 is a sign that there is an error in your .htaccess, you can check Apache logs for errors or try to debug it. Simply remove one line at the time and see when will it stop giving 500 error, then you will know which line in .ht is causing troubles.
