Hi Chaps…i hope someone can help with this.
One client of mine wants to move to another server. The htaccess script works fine on the present serevr, however on the new host fails completely with a 500 error.
The new host is 1&1 and they do not offer any assistance with there setup, therefore i need to pop over here.
For a simple redirect i had used
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) /index.php
…when it went to page not found, rather than going to the index.php it went to the sedo parking on the host server.
I was advised that i must put the absolute link in the htaccess file so i tried
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) http://web.web.co.uk/index.php
…and this also failed (again to sedo parking)
Is there something i can do to ‘test’ if apache is working correctly on the server. 1&1 have been very unhelpful, and i need to ‘prove’ that the problem is at their end. I would love to go elsewhere but its not my call.
Thanks in advance
b
