So it should be used and set correctly?

Does hash comment it out? polamnew is the old path.

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.On 6/18/2012 12:25 PM, Anthony wrote:Thanks for all the info. As usual the devil is in the detail. Let me try to explain exactly what I did.
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 "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."
They also said (different dude 10 hours later).
"You can change the hosting of just the website to us by pointing just the a record of the domain to 66.147.244.79. This will change the domain but not the mx entries."
2. So I changed only the A-Record from yahoo to the ip address mentioned. Not the NS records on network solutions.
3. Then got the error mentioned. Got to home page but no further. 500 errors.
4. Looked in the .htaccess and saw the line
RewriteBase /~polamor1/
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.
Thanks
Tony

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

Editing your hosts file makes you not have to wait for DNS changes, as you're telling your browser what IP address it supposed to be used. I use it to see what happens if I want a site to go live but what to see the ramifications first.
