Joomla 1.5 .htaccess [PROBLEM]

I have a Joomla 1.5 installation on http://veganisgreen.com/

I am enabeling SEF URL's and I followed all the info I can get on doing the .htaccess file but its still giving me an internal server error.

I am using a GoDaddy host and I am using a shared hosting account with multiple domains attached to it.

Here is an example of what happens:

http://www.veganisgreen.com/news.html

I have attached my htaccess file if you'd like to take a look.

BTW on my server its not "htaccess.txt" its ".htaccess"

 

wrong attachment, that's not the htaccess.
but anyway, try to comment this line :
# Options +FollowSymLinks

 

What do you mean comment the line? Should I put "#" before it or after it or what?

 

before Options +FollowSymLinks
like this
# Options +FollowSymLinks

 

Is this how it should be?

notes above.# Options +FollowSymLinks##  mod_rewrite in use RewriteEngine On #  Uncomment following line if your webserver's URL #  is not directly related to physical file paths.#  Update Your Joomla! Directory (just / for root) # RewriteBase / ##########

Code (markup):

 

sorry, can not read your code.
this is mine, .. the rest leave as default

# Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On


RewriteBase /

HTML:

 

firstly unquote this line :
# RewriteBase /
if you still encounter problem then quote this line :
Options +FollowSymLinks

 

you might want to change the file from htaccess.txt to .htaccess and give it a go

 

As I said in the original post I have changed the file name form "htaccess" to ".htaccess" and its still causing problems.

I've done everything so far and I've searched down the entire net for some help with it and so far everything that I have tried has failed. Still brings up a 500 server internal error.

 

check your apache setting (httpd.conf) and make sure mod_rewrite is uncommented.

 

Where would I find that? Is that in my user control panel or is that a document on my Joomla site?

 

it's on your control panel, please discussed with your server support to enable mod_rewrite module.

 

for httpd.conf contact with support, also godday need some hrs for htaccess work its not real time there

 

So just call GoDaddy and ask them to enable mod_rewrite_module?
