XF 2.0 Use full friendly URLs - Error 500

[SyTry]

Hello,

Since this afternoon I have a problem with my forum. I can't activate the option "Use full friendly URLs" otherwise I have an error 500 outside my main URL. Without this option I have access.

• With "Use full friendly URLs" : https://sytrycommunity.fr/members/
• Without "Use full friendly URLs" : https://sytrycommunity.fr/index.php?members/

I only made two modifications :

• I have modified the .htaccess file.
• I got a new SSL via my host (1&1 IONOS).

Of course I reset the htaccess file, but no change. So I contacted my host, and here is the answer :

The SSL you have before and the current one offer the same terms and conditions, except that the new one allows you to secure your main domain and the subdomains that result from it, the migration from one to the other has not changed any configuration on the server side, the 500 errors are rather generated compared to the changes you may have made on your .htaccess

Could someone help me ? I don't understand what the problem is. Thank you !

Regards, SyTry

@SyTry , Can you add a temporary administrator on behalf of Emre? I want to review

It's done.

Thats nothing to do with XenForo. They should search for an 500 error in the log files of your hosting.

For a long time i had a hoster with some different settings. Try to set RewriteBase / just remove the #

I can't find anything on my side, it's a really weird problem.

Hello, you can see the error logs in your file you will find: error_log

@SyTry Try this .htaccess just for testing..

#    cannot attach files, remove the "#" from the lines below.
#<IfModule mod_security.c>
#    SecFilterEngine Off
#    SecFilterScanPOST Off
#</IfModule>

    RewriteBase /

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]

I changed my SSL by submitting the old one, the site works again with the option "Use full friendly URLs". I don't understand how an SSL gives a error 500 with this option...

 

[SyTry]

Well, @Emre , @mcatze , @Tarkhubal , thank you for the help you gave me, I solved the problem with the old SSL. So it was a problem due to the new SSL from my host.

@mcatze

Thanks for your post with your test file of:

    #    If you are having problems with the rewrite rules, remove the "#" from the
    #    line that begins "RewriteBase" below. You will also have to change the path
    #    of the rewrite to reflect the path to your XenForo installation.
    RewriteBase /

For anyone who has their forum in a subdomain "forum.example.com" you will want to use "RewriteBase /"

It makes perfect sense once you think about it, but initially it takes a bit when sleep deprived.

@AnotherAndy You had figure it out for yourself. It is not just about the subdomain, i had to set it for a root domain for one hosting package.
