500 Internal Server error with URL rewriting

Post by Sundog108 » Tue Jan 22, 2013 6:27 pm

Hi,

I previously tried everything in the book to get URL rewriting to work (to remove the "index.php"), but was on a temporary url.

see this thread: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f ... 3#p2976883

I explained every change I'd made to htaccess and pasted view of the file currently.

Now my site is on its proper domain, but only the home page shows up when I have URL rewriting set to yes. The other pages give me an "Internal server error 500"

site is: www.vigrahasacredart.com
joomla 2.5

Why won't it work?

Thanks for any help.

Your server must not loaded mod_rewrite
-> Go to your site back END
-> Site
-> System information
-> PHP information tab, in Loaded Modules settings check if you see mod_rewrite.

If mod_rewrite is not loaded, you need to ask your server administrator to enable it.

You cannot stop index.php form appearing, just do redirection to the home page

One other tip the following may need to be activated in the .htaccess file:

Code: Select all

##
# Uncomment following line if your webserver's URL
# is not directly related to physical file paths.
# Update Your Joomla! Directory (just / for root).
##

# RewriteBase /
Remove the # in front of the RewriteBase to activate relative paths.

Hello everyone.
I have tested all the proposals you have suggested in this topic.
Nothing has worked and received 500 internal server error on any adjustments that are in this topic.
Found another solution that worked for me and maybe for you that no proposal has helped.
Had trouble with 2 pieces sites but now it is corrected and everything works as it should.

I changed to the following in the .htaccess file:

From:
# RewriteBase /

To:
RewriteBase /

Small adjustment, but works fine for the problem that I have received on these sites..

Hope it works out for you who have not found a solution yet!

Best Regards/Tony Holmqvist
