PROBLEM Error 500

[IllusiaX]

Can you post the .htaccess-File that is online?

Alex

I don't have anything online. I'm trying to install it on a local server.

I changed the 'Rewrite Base' to my subdirectory folder as instructed in the .htaccess-File.

According to my apache error logs: AH01909: www.example.com:443:0 server certificate does NOT include an ID which matches the server name

According to some research: server name used in Apache (httpd.conf) must be the same as the server name in apache (httpd-ssl.conf)

I've tried this and I still get the same error.

You DO have a .htaccess-File, even on local installations. I think the reason for the error is, that you tried to call your local site via SSL (https://localhost in spite of http://localhost) without having an SSL-ceritficate

This is my htaccess-File, I followed the instructions fro RewriteBase but I'm guessing there is more I need to do but havent. I've never installed one of these before, this is all new to me.
