Magento .htaccess error in Godaddy shared hosting

Question

I have installed Magento in Godaddy shared hosting with apache mod_rewrite enabled while installing magento. The installation completed and homepage loaded quite good. But when I try to access any other pages it gives me "500 Internal Server Error" in every page when I access with www.myshop.com/admin or www.myshop.com/sony-vaio-vgn-txn27n-b-11-1-notebook-pc.html.

However, when I access www.myshop.com/index.php/admin and www.myshop.com/index.php/sony-vaio-vgn-txn27n-b-11-1-notebook-pc.html is works just fine.

Godaddy support buys told me they've enabled apache mod_rewrite in shared hosting as well. They suggest me there's some misconfiguration in .htaccess. Can anyone help me. I'm posting the .htaccess here.

Answer 1

I just finished a magento installation on a godaddy virtualhost and ran up with the same problem.

The fix was to do the following:

1. In godaddy host administration panel adjust the php version to match that of your magento installation(in my case magento 1.9.1.0 CE -community edition), I've changed it to 5.4.

2. Then on your .htaccess file of your magento's base directory change the rewrite base directive to point to the relative path like this:

   RewriteBase /

3. On this same file, add at the end of it the following: RewriteRule ^index.php/(.*)$ [L]

4. Add the following directives to the php5.ini file at the root of your godaddy's virtualhost(if it doesn't exist create one with the same exact name specified):

   [sourcecode language="php"] register_globals = on allow_url_fopen = on cgi.fix_pathinfo =1 [/sourcecode]

5. And that's it(don't forget to save all file changes and close the files used.

For a full explanation and more detailed steps go to the following article. The article

Answer 2

Your problem is this line
RewriteBase /home/content/33/7605133/html/

Look at the comment above that line "you can put here your magento root folder path relative to web root"

So it needs to be relative to the webroot so if your webroot is /home/content/33/7605133/html/ Which I think it would be then you need to change that line to

RewriteBase /
