.htaccess Help

I've been trying to install a script within a sub-directory of a wordpress blog.

This script has it's own .htaccess file and it's giving me a 500 Internal Server Error. The script works fine when I remove the .htaccess file from the sub dir.

What should I do?

I think the .htaccess file from the wordpress script which lies in a higher directory level is interfering with the .htaccess file of this new script.

What do you guys think?

 

The fact that you have a .htaccess higher in the directory tree should not make a difference, because what happens is the new .htaccess file will take control of it's current directory and any directory underneath it, in a sense vetoing out the previous .htaccess. Move the not working .htaccess file up to where the first .htaccess is, after you rename the first .htaccess. This will tell you if it's a problem with the .htaccess file or something else.

 

Well there is a problem with the .htaccess file as when i swapped it with the one on the higher directory, the script running there returned the same internal server error.

What should I do would anyone be willing to check the file for me if I post it here, it's not that long.

Thank you.

 

Go ahead and post the contents and I'll see if I can spot anything.
