CakePHP shows 500 Internal Server Error

Question

I'm having a problem with my CakePHP installation.

I was developing it in a subfolder and it was working fine. But, when I move it into the root folder, it's showing 500 Internal Server Error.

For example, it was working fine on: mysite.com/demo/ But, when I move it into the same server root, i.e. mysite.com/ it's showing the error.

CakePHP Version: 2.2

As it was working fine on /demo/ folder, I think the mod_rewrite etc. are working fine, so that confused what's happening with the root folder.

Any Idea?

Thanks in advance.

You don't have to guess. Just find your web server's error log. — Álvaro González, Nov 20 '13 at 09:44

Please check .htaccess file and change if RewriteBase /folder/subfolder to RewriteBase /

like below

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteRule    ^$ app/webroot/    [L]
   RewriteRule    (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

and also On the debug mode (\app\Config\core.php) Configure::write('debug',2); for clearing cache for a moment and then off Configure::write('debug',0);
