The most notable culprits are .htaccess and local php.ini directives. If your site was using Admin Tools' .htaccess Maker If you have used Admin Tools' .htaccess http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=757483 Maker please remember that after restoring the site to a different location you will need to reconfigure and create a new .htaccess. Login to the back-end of your site, go to Components, Admin Tools, .htaccess Maker, then change the domain and directory names at the bottom of the page and finally click on Save & Create .htaccess. This is mandatory, every time you move your site to https://www.akeebabackup.com/documentation/troubleshooter/prbasicts.html a different host, domain name, subdomain or directory. I can't log in to my site after I restored it to a new location This is a very common mistake with Joomla! 1.6/1.7 and later versions. What you probably not remember is that you modified the cookie setup parameters in your site's Global Configuration page. The thing is, if you modify the cookie domain name and/or path, it's very likely that you will no longer be able to log in to your site if the domain name, subdomain or directory changes - exactly what happens when you restore a site to anywhere except its original location! Luckily, the workaround is very simple. Please edit the configuration.php file in the root of your site and find the lines starting with public $cookie_domain and public $cookie_path. Modify them so that they read: public $cookie_domain = ''; public $cookie_path = ''; Save the file, clear your browser's cookies and cache, quit and restart your browser and try logging in to your site. You should be able to login without any problem now. Another thing that you should be aware of is that the same problem could be caused by your .htaccess file. It's
error An internal server error has occurred!" Ok. So you just change your Joomla 3.x site to search engine friendly URLS, http://www.andrewbrettwatson.com/index.php/more/joomla-help/506-how-to-fix-internal-server-error-on-joomla-sites-which-are-not-installed-in-the-web-hosting-root changed to mod rewrite and also renamed the htaccess.txt to .htaccess but every http://joomladetroit.com/joomla-tutorials/index-php-error-500-with-htaccess-solved article page returns the error “Error 500 - Internal server error An internal server error has occured!” is that the problem? Ok here is a solution: First remember this is just one possible solution. It won’t work for everybody. It depends on what is going wrong with your site. It internal server should work if this is your problem: Joomla is installed in a folder that is not the root folder of your hosting service. When you turn Joomla SEF (in Global configuration: Search Engine Friendly URLs = YES and Use Apache mod_rewrite = YES) the site breaks and starts showing Error 500 - Internal server error An internal server error has occurred! The important internal server error part there is that in this case, it happens when Joomla is NOT installed in the root directory. So to fix this we have to tell the server to consider the folder where it IS located to be the root folder for Joomla. We do this by editing the .htaccess and looking for the following line: # RewriteBase / and we change it to: RewriteBase / This (effectively) tells the server to consider the root folder for Joomla is the folder that it (.htaccess) is in. If the problem was caused by the location of your Joomla install, this SHOULD work. If it doesn’t work, it is likely that the Internal Server Error is caused by something else, that is to say the Error 500 was due to a different problem. To help better understand the problem try this: Check with a different browser, if you change something and the page has not completely refresh you might get this error Refresh the page (cmd+r on Mac or F5 on windows). Sometimes you just have to wait a while or force the br

Index.php Error 500 with .htaccess [solved] Details Written by Son Koral Published on 27 May 2013 Category: Joomla Tutorials Print Email One of the more frustrating things admins seem to encounter with Joomla is trying to get rid of the "/index.php/" from Joomla URLs. There are some server configurations that will throw a Error 500 Internal Server Error / Server Misconfigured page when you move htaccess.txt to .htaccess, but fear not! Rather than go into *WHY* this is happening, here's how to solve the issue: After changing htaccess.txt to .htaccess, open the .htaccess file in the root folder of your Joomla install with a text editor. Close to the top, you should see this part: ##
# READ THIS COMPLETELY IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE THIS FILE!
#
# The line just below this section: 'Options +FollowSymLinks' may cause problems
# with some server configurations. It is required for use of mod_rewrite, but may already
# be set by your server administrator in a way that dissallows changing it in
# your .htaccess file. If using it causes your server to error out, comment it out (add # to
# beginning of line), reload your site in your browser and test your sef url's. If they work,
# it has been set by your server administrator and you do not need it set here.
#### Can be commented out if causes errors, see notes above.
Options +FollowSymLinks ## Mod_rewrite in use. RewriteEngine On Go to the line "Options +FollowSymLinks" and add a "#" to comment it out as below. #Options +FollowSymLinks Your Joomla site should now work correctly without the "/index.php/".

I have tested all the proposals you have suggested in this topic. Nothing has worked and received 500 internal server error on any adjustments that are in this topic. Found another solution that worked for me and maybe for you that no proposal has helped. Had trouble with 2 pieces sites but now it is corrected and everything works as it should.
