Error 500 php_value .htaccess

Admin — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 12:00:23 +0000

I noticed on some server setups I could not do the following inside a .htacess file:

php_value upload_max_filesize 250M
php_value post_max_size 250M

I was getting an error 500 Internal Server Error with the above code in the .htaccess file.

What to do to correct this is create a file called php.ini and save it in the same location as your .htaccess file and enter the following code instead:

upload_max_filesize = “250M”
post_max_size = “250M”

Case Insensitivity with .htaccess files

If you have an .htaccess file to control the flow of URI’s on your site you may want to look at adding a nice little “case insensitive” feature to each line/item.

So an example of a line of .htaccess without any case insensitive bells and whistles looks like this:

RewriteRule ^AndrewOdendaal$ index.php?go=2964

We add our Case Insensitive feature by just adding a [NC] to the end of the line, like this:

RewriteRule ^AndrewOdendaal$ index.php?go=2964 [NC]

This is really handy when you have your site visitors typing things in themselves, as they love to add random CAPS where they like and without adding this it will just throw a 404 PAGE NOT FOUND error back at them.
So a really nice and easy way to get this working! I love Apache!

htaccess file and error 500 internal server error

Admin — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 12:17:50 +0000

I have a question for anyone that can answer it:

I create an .htaccess file in the root of a subdomain, but if I enter either of these two lines I get an erro 500 Internal Server Error:

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
php_flag register_globals off

Any suggestions anyone?

Error 406?

Admin — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 17:53:41 +0000

So you received an error 406 while trying to upload a file and you have no idea to fix it!

Create a “.htaccess” file in the root of your local website and add the following into it:

SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off

htaccess ErrorDocument

Admin — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:53:37 +0000

Create a file called .htaccess in the root of your public_html/htdocs of your domain.

Inside add the following text:

Options +FollowSymLinks

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

RewriteEngine on

Options +FollowSymLinks

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

RewriteEngine on
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

ErrorDocument 301 /index.php

With the index.php files being the pages that get redirected to.
