Hi,

we just upgraded from 1.93 to 2.05+. After uploading the new limesurvey files, I was not able to browse to the /admin/ folder using IE 10 to run the database upgrade, the Webserver reported a 500 ERROR. My current Webhoster is named "Domainfactory"... just mentioning it because it may be specific to them.

I fixed this problem by adding the following line to the .htaccess file, right below "RewriteEngine on"
Maybe this fix should be considered for future limesurvey builds?

going to report this one as a bug to bugs.limesurvey.org, as no one replied here

If the URL is example.com/limesurvey

We need to specify this in htaccess

RewriteBase /limesurvey/

Seriously...can we have that in the manual???

No such problems here, ever.

Whereever I put my installation on the server, no matter which folder, subdomain, etc., I never had to change anything in .htaccess. Maybe a very specific server configuration? For me, on about 5 different hosts this problem never appeared.

Seriously...can we have that in the manual???

The manual is a wiki and everyone can contribute. So if you feel that this is something that needs to be added, feel free to help. Seriously.

The RewriteBase is allways a problem in all system, we can't set it by default, because a lot of installtion don't need it (and broke if is set to a bad value).

In my case, this problem only occurs in the server that we have it in Virtual Host in a sub-sub directory.

Adding the RewriteBase like this solved my problem.

RewriteBase /limesurvey/


Thank you all.

hello new here
In the documentation about EM it is mentioned that the assignment operator ( can be used to set the value of objects that do not accept a default value. Put where should I put this statement? I could put {a=1} on for instance a (hidden?) text display, but I noticed this does not work correctly (the value is only shown after a refresh). What is the best place to put a assignment?
