                              detail.  Let me try to explain exactly
                              what I did. <br>
                              1. I didn&#39;t want to move our email from
                              yahoo so I started asking Bluehost how to
                              go about doing that. They said and I quote<i>
                                &quot;Changing your name servers to Bluehost
                                would interrupt your mail unless you
                                change your MX records with us to point
                                to Yahoo before you change the
                                nameservers.I went ahead and made the MX
                                record change on our end, you can change
                                the nameservers at anytime.</i>&quot;<br>
                              <br>
                              They also said (different dude 10 hours
                              later).<br>
                              <i>&quot;You can change the hosting of just the
                                website to us by pointing just the a
                                record of the domain to <a href="tel:66.147.244.79" value="+16614724479" target="_blank">66.147.244.79</a>.
                                 This will change the domain but not the
                                mx entries.&quot;</i><br>
                              2. So I changed only the A-Record from
                              yahoo to the ip address mentioned. Not the
                              NS records on network solutions.<br>
                              3. Then got the error mentioned. Got to
                              home page but no further. 500 errors.<br>
                              4. Looked in the .htaccess and saw the
                              line<br>
                              RewriteBase /~polamor1/<br>
                              I suspect that this may be wrong and I
                              have to comment this line out but due to
                              my ignorance can not justify based on
