.htaccess file and internal server error 500
Added by Rafał Purwin over 10 years ago
I have a little problem with my .htaccess file ( I overwritten it by mistake and I don't know how it was configured before, because someone else did it long time ago ), so I can't access any page of my Redmine app because of 500 Internal Server Error.
What I know (or I think I know) is that my .htaccess file should point to Redmine public folder.
My folder structure is something like this:
home/domain/public_html/.htaccess
home/domain/public_html/redmine/public/
So, my Redmine app is in subfolder on my server and I really dont know how I should configure my .htacces that it will point on my app files ( it was configured like that before). I have only overwrite .htaccess in "home/domain/public_html/.htaccess" file by mistake,other files in "home/domain/public_html/redmine" folder are untouched.
At the moment my .htaccess file after few tries looks like example file in redmine files
# General Apache options<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi</IfModule><IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi</IfModule>Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
# If you don't want Rails to look in certain directories,# use the following rewrite rules so that Apache won't rewrite certain requests## Example:# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/notrails.*# RewriteRule .* - [L]
# Redirect all requests not available on the filesystem to Rails# By default the cgi dispatcher is used which is very slow## For better performance replace the dispatcher with the fastcgi one## Example:# RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]RewriteEngine On
# If your Rails application is accessed via an Alias directive,# then you MUST also set the RewriteBase in this htaccess file.## Example:# Alias /myrailsapp /path/to/myrailsapp/public# RewriteBase /myrailsapp
RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]</IfModule><IfModule mod_fcgid.c> RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]</IfModule>
# In case Rails experiences terminal errors# Instead of displaying this message you can supply a file here which will be rendered instead## Example:# ErrorDocument 500 /500.html
ErrorDocument 500 "<h2>Application error</h2>Rails application failed to start properly"
But how it could looked before? I did some research on this, but most of the time .htaccess files looked like mine, because all of them were placed in redmine/public but in my case this .htaccess was in main public_html folder next to /redmine folder.
