.htaccess 500 error

Im useing this code on my site to get some nice urls its in my .htaccess file but I get a 500 error I think the code is okay ive checked it any thorghts?

Try this:


It rewrites anything alpha-numeric or dash/underscore, keeps the query string and stops matching rules after it, if it's the last one.

no im still getting the error

Check if mod_rewrite is enabled on your server. Make sure your htaccess file has valid commands in it.

If you're sure mod_rewrite is working, say you've already used it somewhere else on the site or you've wrapped the rewrites in an <IfModule> container and still get the error, you can look for the value of AllowOverride in either your virtual host container or Apache configuration file.

If that directive doesn't evaluate to allowing Options overrides in some way, it's a likely source of the error.



That looks like it's going to cause an infinite loop, which would become an error, but that's likely not the problem since you've already tried PHs line there.

I will have a look when I can friends got my laptop at mo with it all on - I was using the because I wanted to make it look like a proper URL and add a .html or .htm on the end!
