500 Internal Server error with Generate .htaccess extension
Development and Programming
Hi all, I am using the Generate .htaccess extension and I keep getting a 500 Internal Server error when I try and use it on Site5 servers.
I developed the site locally and it worked fine.
The Site5 support team sent me this as the exact error in the error log..
[Wed Dec 17 11:09:26 2008] [alert] [client 93.86.146.123] /home/myragonz/public_html/.htaccess: RewriteCond: cannot compile regular expression '^/(includes|about|talent|aboutmyra|artists|contact|fashion4film|home||members|P[0-9]{2,8})'\nCan anyone see why this is happening? I really don’t understand!
Thanks
Mike
You have a double pipe || in your generated file which is causing the issue. If you’re not using E pages remove the {ee:pages} variable.
Hi, I am having a similar issue with the 500 Error. I have checked through and can’t find a double-pipe anywhere, and have removed pages from the settings. Any ideas? This is a completely fresh install so only the ‘site/index.php’ template exists so far.
Thanks,
Cormac
