Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Have I searched the tickets before posting? Yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Joomla! version: (3.1.5)
PHP version: (5.4.17)
MySQL version: (5.5.32-cll)
Host: Vidahost
Admin Tools version: (2.5.6)
No 3rd party redirect tools installed
Using your Admin Tools generated .htaccess file attached

Description of my issue:
I have added 2 redirects for /home and /news for www.nfm.org.uk as these are used widely across many partner sites for some reason. I followed the instructions on your site and double checked them but I still get the 500 Internal Server page.

e.g. http://www.nfm,org.uk/home should redirect to our home page so I added /home in the first field and http://www.nfm,org.uk in the second. I checked that the rule is published.

Have I missed something?

Hello,

please can you check if the live_site variable inside your configuration.php file is empty?
If so, add your site URL ie http://www.example.com

Hi, thanks for the quick response. I have edited the configuration.php as suggested but there is no change. I am still getting 500 error.

One step I have noticed that I missed was to enable "Use URL rewriting". I tried this and got a 500 error on anything other than the home page even after rebuilding the .htaccess file.

Inside the htaccess Maker view please toggle the option Follow symlinks.
Any changes?

Tried your suggestion - no difference to last status above.

I was going to check your site again, but my antivirus blocked me.
I think you should take a look at what is happening...

However, if you can't even use standard Joomla htaccess file, you should contact your host and ask him if they have enabled the mod_rewrite module.
