Hello,

I'm having some issues with my new Drupal installation. I built the site on a local install, uploaded all of the files to the new hosting account, set up a database and made the necessary changes in settings.php. While the homepage shows up just fine, any link I click on results in a 500 Internal Server Error (error posted below). I contacted godaddy support and they indicated that it might be a problem with the script in .htaccess. I've checked a couple of the error logs and here's what comes up:

[Tue Oct 23 11:00:06 2012] [error] [client 176.9.148.197] Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.
[Tue Oct 23 11:00:07 2012] [error] [client 176.9.148.197] Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.

Here's the error when clicking on a link:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Apache Server at www.portofhopecenters.org Port 80

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm still learning Drupal and coding, and I've attempted to apply fixes that I found through searching, but nothing seemed to make a dent. Many of the fixes I found seemed to be applicable to earlier versions of Drupal, but not 7.xx. I do have pathauto module installed and some of the other posts I found indicated that there might be a problem resolving the urls with that module.

Thanks in advance for the help!

For me, I was able to solve this problem by modifying the following line in .htaccess:

# RewriteBase /

changed to :

RewriteBase /

Hopefully this helps out whoever encounters this issue after me, or more likely, myself at a later date.

Does it matter if I leave that setting set?

I have exactly the same problem... but the OPs solution didn't work for me. I have tried both with and without the "rewrite base /". Any more ideas???

Hello

Check if there is a redirect rule in your .htaccess file. If everything seems ok, you can try renaming .htaccess file to something else. Then download the original .htaccess from the Drupal package and upload it for your website.

Let us know if this works for you.
