Thanks for the prompt reply

How do I set the htaccess setting?

Have you checked the installation instruction here:
http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zen...u/installation

Let me know if you have any question. Also, post your htaccess content here if you need more help. But judging from your site url, all you have to do is to change this line:
RewriteBase /whateverhere/

to

RewriteBase /

I did check the installation instructions at the link you gave. Still struggling a bit though

When I open the htaccess file with notepad I get the following:

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# Make sure to change "test_site" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase /
RewriteBase /

# Deny access from .htaccess
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]
#### EOF SSU

If your htaccess looks like that (assuming you use www.syzygypens.com)

Then it should work. If it doesnt and still give you the 500 error, please go to your cpanel, under the Error Log please copy the latest error details related to this 500 error and copy here so I can help you

You have a bunch of unrelated errors that you may want to contact your host.

For SSU, the one causing the problem is probably this:
NoCase option for non-regex pattern '-f' is not supported and will be ignored.

Is your htaccess content exactly as you posted or you have something else in it as well?

This is the contents of the htaccess file:

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# Make sure to change "test_site" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase /
RewriteBase /

# Deny access from .htaccess
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]
#### EOF SSU

You have to bring up this problem to your host, I have done a bit GoogleSearch (example:http://wordpress.org/support/topic/151711) and this seems to be a server related problem.
Also: http://www.bluehostforum.com/showthread.php?t=12273 (so maybe the error you have is ....useless in this case)

As you can see in the htaccess we dont use NoCase (NC) there, so it shouldnt be a problem. Unless you have another htaccess on your site which uses NC.

Anyhow, also remove .htaccess for now to have your site functioning normally again, and let me know what your host says.

I deleted the htaccess file but the site is still stuck on the home page.

I deleted the htaccess file but the site is still stuck on the home page.

If you turned off SSU AND remove the htaccess, It cant act that way unless:
1. Your server uses a cache system for htaccess, so that the change wont be reflected within several minutes/hours (and if so, this may explain why your new change in the htaccess didnt yield the expected result)
2. You deleted the wrong file . I did it sometimes, when I work with multiple sites a time or a server that store more that 1 sites.

I called the tech support at Blue Host. He wasn't much help. Said the problem was with Zen Cart and I needed to contact them. He said the server does not cache.

I copied exactly what you had in that link into my htaccess file and re uploaded it. The site is still looping. This is what is in the htaccess:

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
# Change "/zencart/ to the correct setting
# if your site is located at root folder, then you should have RewriteBase /
# Go to your include/configure.php, this value should be the same with the value of DIR_WS_CATALOG
RewriteBase /zencart/

# Deny access from .htaccess
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule .* - [L]

RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]
#### EOF SSU
