Changing the rewritebase to “/” is a solution only if that is where your domain needs to point to. If your are running the magento install in a sub-folder, then you need to point to that instead. My problem, was a trailing slash at the end of the line.

rewritebase /mystore/ –> Not Good
rewritebase /mystore –> good!

I got no information about this 500 error. yes although every one tried to answer best way but all in vain

any how guys if you are getting this sort of problem then I suggest you these options:

1) Rather than doing direct installation on live server you better to check that on your local PC . That will give you easy option if the package itself has some configuration problem that will not create any headache for you to start with new project to try again in Xampp/ wampp.

And upload your local work to live server you just then need to make changes in “config_data” some sort of named table and ETC>> LOCALE.XML and removing all from cache from VAR>>CACHE .

2) Other option it gets some configuration problem sometimes and htaccess override that doesn’t let you access your any .php file as well. So you just create another folder on side and out of your current magento folder. i.e.

OLD : magento_projects/myMagentoProject1
NEW : magento_projects2/myMagentoProject1

And this will work. This is a good tip for specially those guys who suddenly gets into this problem

I had this same issue with a client on 1and1.com hosting, the admin randomly stopped working and started giving 500 errors.

Problem is my clients .htaccess file RewriteBase was already set properly.

At my wits end, I simply opened the file and resaved it, with no changes and their site started working again.

1and1 must have some sort of process that goes through and messes with the .htaccess file permissions or something. i’ve never run into this anywhere else. hope that helps someone. thanks for the tip i would never have thought to try that had you not posted this seeing as i had already set that to get the site working in the first place.

thanks,
josh

after reading tons of forums, I could not find the answer. This one worked! I am running magento 1.6 on 1&1 hosting, and out of nowhere I was getting that 500 error.

This was the fix for me!

Thank you so much!
