  • .htaccess and "Options FollowSymLinks"

    hello

    i'm using joomla, mostly v1.5.18 (latest now) and as soon as i enable .htaccess the website goes down to error 500.

    i edited the .htaccess file and had to disable the "Options FollowSymLinks" code in order to have the site up and running. I also used the "Options +FollowSymLinks" but it still give me the same problem. only by commenting them i can have my website back.

    is there a way to have this string functioning in .htaccess??

    thanks for any eventual help/explanation

    Hello,

    Actually the directives are enabled on Server wide level. There is no need to enable them using a custom .htaccess file that can be accessed outside the Apache Configuration. The directives are still active, but you cannot use them in a custom .htaccess.

    Let me know if you have further questions.

    Regards,
    Chris

      Write this:

      #Options FollowSymLinks

      instead of:

      Options FollowSymLinks

        What about the plus sign?

        Is it not, "Options +FollowSymLinks"?
