.htaccess file causes "500 Internal Server Error" but no error log entry

  • 772

I set up an apache manually and added a second web directory with this code:

Alias /webs c:\webs
<Directory /webs>
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

However, this web has an .htaccess file in it and accessing the website gives the error: "500 Internal Server Error", but does not write anything in the error log file.

But when I remove the .htaccess file, I don't get this error.

I added the "AllowOverride All" line and restarted the server but this doesn't correct the error.

My .htaccess is this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.css|\.js|\.png|\.jpg|\.gif|robots\.txt)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?params=$1 [L,QSA]

<Files "test">
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from all
</Files>

What do I have to do so that I can use an .htaccess file in this directory?

apache-2.2

  1. Enable mod_rewrite in Apache web server. Also try this:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.css|\.js|\.png|\.jpg|\.gif|robots\.txt)$ [NC]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?params=$1 [L,QSA]

    <Files "test">
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow from all
    </Files>
</IfModule>

    If mod_rewrite is enabled then initiates the rewrite engine; else it does nothing.

  2. OK, I fixed this, it turned out to be two other issues, which I'll record here just in case it helps someone:

    In my php.ini file, I had to set:

    display_errors = On

    so that it would display errors (even though I had "error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_STRICT").

    Then the error was that I was trying to use RedBean with SQLite and needed to uncomment these in my php.ini file:

    extension=php_pdo_sqlite.dll
extension=php_sqlite3.dll
