Clean URLs was causing Error 500 - Internal server error

I was getting the anoying Error 500 - Internal server error on my 1and1 home shared hosting again.

I tried all the fixes on this site but still not getting passed the error page.

Then I realized that the front page of my site was working fine but the resto of the pages weren't. So I figured that there might be a problem with the clean URLs. I checked my .htaccess file and there it was.

# RewriteBase /

I uncommented that line.

RewriteBase /

This solved the problem.

Memory limit error on MAMP

I am developing drupal sites locally on my MacBook using MAMP.

I was getting a lot of memory limit errors.

I modified the php.ini file and also the settings.php fiel in drupal. None of them solved my problems.

I inserted this line in my .htaccess file inside the drupal folder:

php_value memory_limit  "100M"

That line goes right after

# PHP 5, Apache 1 and 2.
<IfModule mod_php5.c>

This solved my problem.

Copy and paste the following line at the beginning of your .htaccess file:

##
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php
##
