Hi,

I am struggling for a while with .htaccess file for the RewriteBase issue.  
I put kirby in a folder (named kirby) of my root server and I created a sub domain (kirby.mydomain.info) which redirects to this folder.  
In .htaccess file I put `RewriteBase /kirby` but it doesn’t work.  
The homepage is OK but when trying to go to some contents (other pages) I got an error server notice.  
You can see the homepage [here](http://kirby.polar-hardboiled.info) _(please note that it’s not a production site just a test before migrating my own site to kirby cms)_

I didn’t find something heplful in the other topics related to subdomain in this forum.  
Therefore if you have any idea or helpful method  
Thank you

Your subdomain is set to the /kirby folder, so from the point of view of the subdomain, your Kirby install is not in a subfolder but in the subdomain root. Try uncommenting the RewriteBase, or set it to “/”.

Thank you, it works perfectly with RewriteBase “/”
