Textpattern/ISPConfig configuration problem

Situation:

1. .htaccess works with a password, so no problem here.
2. The Textpattern directory contains a .htaccess file with these lines:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) – [PT,L]

RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

3. If we browse the file index.php now, we get an internal server error.

Any suggestions would be most welcome. Thanx in advance.

 

Probably, there are no .htaccess files allowed in your web.
To allow these files within your website, add the following lines within the Apache directive field of your website:

<Directory "/var/www/web#/web">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Where web# is the webnumber as created by ISPConfig.

 

Allowed

As I indicated in my first message here, .htaccess works for vhosts together with .htpasswd. In other words, .htaccess does work.

The apache2.conf file on Debian Etch includes these lines:

<Directory /var/www/*/web>
Options +Includes -Indexes
AllowOverride All
AllowOverride Indexes AuthConfig Limit FileInfo
Order allow,deny
<Files ~ "^\.ht">
Deny from all
</Files>
</Directory>

The configuration problem persists (as I haven't changed anything). Any more suggestions?

 

Ok then, Do you see any related error within /var/www/web#/log/error.log ?

 

Actually, the Umlaut-characters are absent from the real script on the server. Somehow this only got garbled via the internet, maybe because I'm using Firefox on a Mac (it's the n-dash or m-dash copied from the real script that must have gotten distorted). So it already reads something like this (with a longer dash instead of the - :

RewriteRule ^(.+) ‚ - [PT,L]

In other words, this is not the solution to the problem.

 

The log says:

[Sat Sep 13 10:11:29 2008] [error] [client 62.226.1.32] Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.

I do not know how to use "logLevel debug' to get a backtrace nor would I know how to interpret what it says.

 

Nobody?

Does nobody have a clue?
