Pretty URLs on a Subdomain

Permalink
I have tried and tried but pretty urls will not work for me. Concrete5 is installed on a subdomain (sub.mysite.ca) and located in a subfolder of the main web directory (public_html/sub).

I put the recommended code into the .htaccess file and it keeps giving me an error 404. As a test, I installed concrete5 on the root of my personal site (which uses the same host/server) and it worked fine.

The only other clue I have is that when I take out the line 
RewriteBase /
the error 404 switches to a 500 internal server error. Any ideas?

Hi ! Not sure about the answer but it sounds like a .htaccess location problem. I found a similar problem/solution on another forum and the problem could be similar.
You should have a look here :http://drupal.org/node/69669 and see the last post "Yeah, that worked for me too..." (?)

Well I moved the .htaccess to the root directory and now it gives me the concrete5 error page, as opposed to the regular 404:

"Page Not Found
No page could be found at this address.
Back to home."

Which is progress, I guess. Tried fiddling around with the RewriteBase line again but whatever I change it to always gives me the 500 error again.

Am I missing one last step?

I just gave up, moved everything back to where it used to be, and suddenly Pretty URLs started working! Weird, I must have changed something, or it's just computers being random. Anyways, thanks for your help!
