Summary08745: Add a RewriteBase to .htaccess file
Description

Hi,

we just upgraded from 1.93 to 2.05+. After uploading the new limesurvey files, I was not able to browse to the /admin/ folder using IE 10 to run the database upgrade, the Webserver reported a 500 ERROR. My current Webhoster is named "Domainfactory"... just mentioning it because it may be specific to them.

I fixed this problem by adding the following line to the .htaccess file, right below "RewriteEngine on":

RewriteBase /

Maybe this fix should be considered for future limesurvey builds?

Additional Information

Add "RewriteBase /" to htaccess file

TagsNo tags attached.

And if you are on a subdirectory, it's need RewriteBase /subdir/

Then : please don't

I am not a htaccess expert, but if RewriteBase XYZ is required to access the admin backend, at least it should be added to the installation manual...?

You're right ! (for the manual).

PS: RewriteBase is not required with a majority of server: it's onli=y required in some server.
