# Sub-domain 500 Internal Server Error

 * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sub-domain-500-internal-server-error/)
 * I have a domain and website: [http://www.scroll-left.com](http://www.scroll-left.com).
   I wanted a little site for my basketball team, so I installed wordpress to a 
   sub-directory of scroll-left.com, scroll-left.com/boone. I then pointed a new
   domain name to that directory: [http://www.boonebasketball.com](http://www.boonebasketball.com).
   So if you go to boonebasketball.com, the WP site comes up, and the URL reads “
   www.boonebasketball.com”.
 * However, as soon as you click a link, that all changes. If I click the “Fundraising”
   link, it now reads “scroll-left.com/boone/fundraising”. That’s not ideal, but
   is still fine.
 * My problem is this. I’d like to be able to send someone to “www.boonebasketball.
   com/fundraising” and have it come up, but it provides a 500 Internal Server Error
   when I do. I guess I had it in mind that “www.boonebasketball.com/” equals “www.
   scroll-left.com/boone/” so it wouldn’t be an issue and went and published something
   in print with “www.boonebasketball.com/fundraising”.
 * Any way to accomplish this? Even creating a static redirect page of some kind
   would be fine. I just don’t want everyone getting an error. Any ideas are welcome.
   Thanks!

 * I am guessing that you originally set up the website and created it as [http://scroll-left.com/boone](http://scroll-left.com/boone).
   What you need to do is reset the permalinks. Simply go to Settings >> Permalinks
   in the admin dashboard and resave the same settings. This should resolve your
   issues. Let us know how that works for you!

 * I get the same error. I opened my permalink settings. They are set to the “Post
   Name” option. I hit Save Changes. And still the same error.
 * All my permalinks still spell out the “www.scroll-left.com/boone” prefix as well.
   Any other thoughts? Here is a screen shot of my permalink settings:

 * I’m guessing this is part of the error… under General settings, my WordPress 
   Address and Site Address are [http://scroll-left.com/boone](http://scroll-left.com/boone).
   Can I change that without “breaking” my site?

 * This is what my .htaccess file says… I have no idea what to do to fix it, if 
   it’s the problem…
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /boone/
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond%{
   REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /boone/index.php [L] </IfModule>

 * There is your problem. You need to change the address to boonebasketball.com
