Problem from domain name and host move
Permalink
I made a site for my church that I kept on my host until it needed to be moved on yahoo. The church had a site(messiahlutheran.ws) sitting with one host. we planned to move it to Bluehost. I moved the site i did from yahoo to bluehost where i could get to it by IPaddress to keep the site up until we could transfer the domain name. the site moved fine and all was well from the IP address. we moved the domain name and changed the site.php to reflect the change from the IP to the domain name. Now when you go to the site the home page comes up but anything you try to link to comes up with an error:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@messiahlutheran.ws and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache Server at messiahlutheran.ws Port 80
It looks as though it may be the pretty urls because if i add the index.php to the url it works. However, when it was using the IP address the pretty urls worked fine. why would they mess things up now?
Anybody know how I can fix this? I thought the site.php would be the only thing that needed changing but did i miss something?

Actually i found my own solution. Apparently the pretty url code was specific to the IP address so I removed it from the .htaccess file and disabled pretty urls. When I re-enabled I got fresh code that i put into the .htaccess file and when i put that one in the root it worked. Thanks for taking a look though. I really appreciate it.
Good to hear you figured it out.
It appears that you need to add the .htaccess file described in the pretty url section "Dashboard->Sitewide Settings->Linking"
