500 Error – Not an Easy One

  • After dealing with the INFINITE REDIRECT LOOP (wordpress directory redirecting to my root html folder), i played with HTACCESS for literally 24 hours. At the end of the night, i was stuck between getting the 500 error, then updating my HTACCESS then getting a 301 error – going back and fourth.

    Now, im stuck on the 500 error! ive check the HTACCESS, installed in new directory, check hosting redirecting urls and more.

    CURRENTLY:
    If i remove my htaccess code, the url works but im getting a 500 error.
    If i add the htaccess code (see below), the url begins the loop back to my public html folder (which load my main site instead of my wordpress directory site)

    HTACCESS CONTENT:

    =============
    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /citiera/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /citiera/index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress
    =============

    To remove the 500 error, i defined the site url and home url in the config file and also edited the to the same values in the database phpmyadmin, considering i had no way to access the admin portal because i was locked out.

    I’ve sent a ticket to hosting, to see if they can find something.

    Any other help would also be appreciated.

    , i defined the site url and home url in the config file and also edited the to the same values in the database phpmyadmin,

    If you corrected the URLs using phpMyAmin, you should now carefully remove the two lines you placed in the wp-config.php file.

    Leaving them in the file will prevent you from ever changing them again from your dashboard settings because they will essentially be hard-coded by the config file.

    Well i got this working, not sure how or what. but after sleeping overnight, called my host provider and it worked – they said they did nothing but who knows. I wish i had the solution for this because it took me over a week.

    Thanks guys! Clayton you rock!

    You’re the one who actually had to do all the work, but you’re welcome! Glad to hear it finally came around. The next one will be easier. ??
