Description of my issue:
I tried to copy my site to subfolder with Kickstart without success.
I understood in my AT version it's problem so I downloaded the files manual backup the DB and upload them to the subfolder.

When I go to www.mysite.com/ru I get 500 Internal Server Error.
1. I checked folder permission.
2. I try to modify htaccess:
##### RewriteBase set - BEGIN
RewriteBase /ru
##### RewriteBase set - END
and also
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http%2://www.mysite.com/ru/ [R=301,L]
3. in main site admin tools (htaccess maker: Allow direct access, including .php files, to these directories) i add the subfolder (ru)

but nothing work.

I strongly recommend against restoring in a subdirectory of your original site. Please note that the parent site's .htaccess is inherited in the subdirectory, making it impossible to access your site.

Instead, restore in a subdomain and make sure that the subdomain's root directory is placed outside the main site's root directory. For example, this directory structure will work:
/public_html  -- Main site root
/sudomain_html -- Subdomain root

While this one will NOT work:
/public_html -- Main site root
/public_html/subdomain_html -- Subdomain root


If you really must use a subdirectory you will need to add the ru directory to the "Allow direct access, including .php files, to these directories" list in .htaccess Maker, otherwise your subdirectory will definitely not work.

OK, I did it like you said:
/sudomain_html -- Subdomain root

What should i set in htaccess maker?
Base directory of your site (/ for domain's root)

Now it's "/" (without inverted commas)

Since it's a subdomain, yes, the directory is a single forward slash just like it is set right now. Remember, that whatever you set in the .htaccess Maker has to do with URLs, not where something is stored in the filesystem.
