Hi

I'm having an issue I'm not sure how to easily fix. The website I'm porting into Webuzo requires mod_rewrite. Whenever I drop a .htaccess file into the directory, it causes the server to stop serving all content and produce a 500 error. I've traced the problem to the following rules:
-------------------------------------------------
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ index.php?r=$1 [L]
---------------------------------------------------

I'm wondering if it's because mod_rewrite is not enabled, but I haven't been able to figure out where to go to check/enable this.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

All taken care of!

I did open a ticket at the same time I made this post. Tech support signed in and fixed the issue within hours of creating the ticket and my problem was resolved fast. I'm actually quite pleased with the support that was provided. For anyone wondering what my problem was. It was simply that the .htaccess file had some comments in it. Our old provider could handle a comment like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d #comment line here
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but in this system the comment had to be on it's own line like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#comment line here
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Simple enough. I'm almost embarrassed I didn't figure it out on my own! Thanks for the quick support!

Martin,


If this works, add rules incrementally to identify the problematic directive.
