500 when trying to save settings

[DeveloperApp]

When submitting the new url, even I am facing a similar problem. It does not go through and neither am I able to trace the log anywhere. If anyone has encountered a similar issue, pl suggest what exactly needs to be done.

you need to check your host error log

I downloaded version 3.3.13 and started installation. green lights on all checks, password is mailed.
Calling /admin after that I get a 500 server error.
Server error log tells me: .htaccess: Option FollowSymLinks not allowed here
Replacing it with SymLinksIfOwnerMatch gives: .htaccess: RewriteBase: argument is not a valid URL
Commenting it out is the same.

when I delete the .htaccess the site is loading.
PHP: 5.6.33
mod-rewrite installed
What else do you need to know?

What if you just comment out Options +FollowSymLinks, without adding anything else?

[pinguin]

as I said: Commenting it out is the same as +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch: .htaccess: RewriteBase: argument is not a valid URL

Whats your rewrite base it should be / or something

[pinguin]

do I define this in .htaccess?
I didn't change anything there except above mentioned Option.

from current htaccess:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on

# Usually RewriteBase is just '/', but
# replace it with your subdirectory path
RewriteBase **REPLACE**

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

So normally "RewriteBase **REPLACE**" is edited during installation?

[Carlos]

**REPLACE** should have been changed by / (if in root of the domain) or your subfolder when installing.
Did you have to rename temp.gsconfig.php to gsconfig.php? Something went wrong then.
