Magento 500 Error + Solution

On a recent clean installation on a 1and1 Linux server for a client, the site was getting 500 errors on every page other than the home page. The fix for this was to add the following line to the .htaccess file in the document root:

RewriteBase /

Hope this helps someone else out

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. ############################################
  2. ## you can put here your magento root folder
  3. ## path relative to web root
  4.  
  5.     #RewriteBase /magento/
  6.     RewriteBase /

perfect. exactly what i needed. i hope you get PR1 for this. if i had found this first instead of waiting for the 8000 magento directories to finish chmod'ing i would have been much happier.
