   Hey all,

   Bit of a mystery... my website is giving 500 errors on every page but the site index. I can't figure out why.

   Bit of background info: wp is installed in the subdirectory 'em' (ie. example.com/em/) but public access to the site is via the root dir (ie. example.com/). [For the record, I wish I'd never installed wp in this way, but it was back in '07 when I didn;t know better!]

   Interestingly, if I delete .htaccess from the root dir, permalinks produce a 404 error, rather than a 500. This might help some bright spark figure out the problem.

   Also, said .htaccess file contains the following:

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

   I'd really appreciate any theories from the community as to what's causing the 500 errors.

   Resolved: deleted index.php from subsdirectory (/em/). Delete thread?

   I had the same problem, permalinks didn't work but returned a 500 error. Just change the RewriteRule line in the .htaccess so it fits your new domain name.
