When I try to use mod rewrite in my .htaccess files, I get a 500 error. When trying to solve this I added the following to the Apache directives: Code: <Directory /var/www/web2/web/> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All </Directory> But I still get the 500 error when accessing the website. The log says the following: Code: [Tue Nov 13 12:44:21 2007] [alert] [client 10.0.0.199] /var/www/web2/web/.htaccess: Illegal option RewriteEngine, referer: http://test.nl/ The .htacces file is very baic: Code: Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^alice.html$ bob.html Hope some can help me...
Please make sure that you have mod_rewrite installed and enabled on your server. Have a look at the perfect setup guide for detailed instructions.
