500 Internal Server Error in codeigniter - apache

Question

I am using CodeIgniter 3.
My .htaccess file contains the following.
I am getting 500 Internal Server Error .
I tried renaming the .htaccess file , i got 404 .
I want to see the Apache error log. but i only have one folder in my root directory, which is public_html where my project files are based at.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase http://www.xyzsolutions.com/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
in my config.php i have
$config['base_url'] = 'http://www.xyzsolutions.com/';
$config['index_page'] = ' ';
in database.php
'hostname' => 'http://www.xyzsolutions.com/',
I cannot find /var/log/httpd/error_log
how to get this , so that i can view the Apache error log ?

Answer 1

I solved the issue , changed my .htaccess to
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
In config.php
$config['base_url'] = 'http://www.xyzsolutions.com/';
And As i am using Codeigniter version 3
The Controllers and model files names should start with an upper case,
Eg:
models/User_model.php
controllers/Welcome.php
I named my files with lower case( starting letter )so i was getting 404.
Lower case thing worked in localhost , but in server it will not work

In your database.php change your hostname to 'localhost'
$config['hostname'] => 'localhost';
In your .htaccess change the RewriteBase to
RewriteBase /
Try also to leave the config['base_url'] empty
$config['base_url'] = "";
