    Hi,

    I am new to this and have tried to search it before posting it, I am installing simple script which redirects and make short urls and it uses .htaccess. Its working fine on server but not my local box, what things should be done to make it working?

    I am getting this error

    Internal Server Error
    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

    Please contact the server administrator, admin@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

    More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

    This is due to mod_rewrite is present but commented out in your httpd.conf file.

    I'm not sure which package are you trying on your localhost. I use XAMPP from www.apachefriends.org and the fix to the problem is this:

    • Go through the following directories: YOUR_SERVER_DIRECTORY >> apache >> conf
    • Inside conf you will find httpd.conf
    • Open this file with your notepad and scroll down to find this line: #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
    • Uncomment such line and save your httpd.conf
    • If you are running the server while editing, restart it.

    And you will be done :)

    For any other localhost server search for the configuration file inside your installation directory since depending on the distro the location may be slightly different.

    If the above doesn't not work, then you have to double check your .htaccess file since you say it is working properly out of the local machine.

    in my log i am getting this error on my server but it is working on local host

    /home/dhajoint/public_html/.htaccess: Invalid command
    'AcceptPathInfo', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not
    included in the server configuration
