    Default 500 Internal Server Error after installing Ultimate SEO

    Hi,
    I have just installed Ultimate SEO on my FRESH install v1.3.8a.
    I copied all the files to the correct place.
    Changed my .htaccess to reflect where the store is at, and uploaded it.
    After doing so I got a 500 Internal server error on both my shop and my admin area.
    So I go in my FTP and delete the .htaccess file and then the website shows up again, but when you click on links it comes up with another error.

    It seems to be coming from the .htaccess?

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thank you

    Check RewriteBase / , more than likely you have not set it correctly in htaccess, which is the most common error.
    I no longer provide installation support on forum for all my modules. However, if there are real bugs with the modules please feel free to contact me

    Hi guys,
    Thank you so much for your help.

    This is a partial copy of the htaccess file...
    ----------------
    ##### NOTE: Replace /shop/ with the relative web path of your catalog in the "Rewrite Base" line below:

    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /middlekingdomtraders/

    My zencart shop is installed in that folder, so I typed that between the /.../

    # From Ultimate SEO URLs...
    ----------------

    There is no use looking at the URL as I have deleted the .htaccess because it stops the website from functioning beyond the front page.

    Are you putting the USEO .htaccess file in the same directory as your Zen Cart files?

    That is also a requirement.

    Hi,

    Yes, the .htaccess file is placed in the /middlekingdomtraders/ folder which is where the zen-cart files are located.

    I had the same problem and i fixed it by giving permission to admin folder, in my case "755".

    OWNER: read, write, execute
    GROUP: read, execute
    PUBLIC: read, execute

    hope it helps

    This may be relevant...

    I had the same issue whilst running it on my PC through WAMP.

    The issue was caused by the 'rewrite_module' not being enabled on apache and 'RewriteEngine On' in the htaccess file, not being a recognized command.

    Perhaps this can be translated to help with your issue.
