Comment it out and it should fix it. I have a client with Drupal
installations in sub directories as well as the root directory on
BlueHost and none of them need RewriteBase set.<br>

type="cite">Thanks for all the info. As usual the devil is in the
detail. Let me try to explain exactly what I did. <br>
1. I didn'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>
"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>"<br>
<br>
They also said (different dude 10 hours later).<br>
<i>"You can change the hosting of just the website to us by
pointing just the a record of the domain to <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="tel:66.147.244.79"
value="+16614724479">66.147.244.79</a>. This will change the
domain but not the mx entries."</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 logic. <br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

to do - make sure that your computer is going to the correct<br>
IP. From a command window:<br>
<br>
nslookup <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://example.com"
target="_blank">example.com</a><br>
<br>
If the IP is right then check your server error logs. A 500
error is not<br>
a DNS error. It actually comes from a webserver (see RFC
2616). As long<br>
as you are going to the right server, then the big hint will
lie within<br>
the server's error logs.<br>
<br>
Also make sure you have a CNAME set up:<br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://example.com"
target="_blank">example.com</a>. A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.example.com"
target="_blank">www.example.com</a>. CNAME <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://example.com"
target="_blank">example.com</a>.<br>
<br>
You need to CNAME www. to your A record or it won't work since
www. is<br>
viewed as a subdomain. This wouldn't lead to the error (you
would just<br>
get a server not found error - no HTTP error codes), but it
does prevent<br>
future problems of people who want to use the www.<br>
