Im handling a website, where we use rewrite but seem to have some problems here on NS. I read post about this issue, but it seems like it works better on ie !
In firefox I get 200 OK -> The server encountered an internal error or
misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

I have RewriteBase /

and essentially how this website uses the rewrite is like this:

#Rewites PHP file to PHP directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule (.*)\.php$ PHP/$1\.php [L]

#All other files
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule (.*)$ PHP/transform.php?page=$1 [L]

The problem occurs when loading the ADMIN/index.php
header ('Location: ADMIN/');

ie it loads, however in firefox it will halt, but not allways!
I guess it could be a time out ?

RewriteRuiles do not use regular expressions and do not need special characters like the period escaped (i.e. you would use "$1.php" not "$1\.php"). You only need that in RewriteCond.

The target for the RewriteRule should always start with "http://" or "/" (i.e. "RewriteRule (.*)$ /PHP/transform.php?page=$1 [L]")

Hi Craig

Thanks for the correction.

But it does not solve the problem.
Could It be something else that makes it halt ? Im still thinking why this is an issue in firefox and not ie !

Is their any setting im missing out ?
any feedback would be appreciated thanks

Here is a screendump that halts
login.php -> header ('Location: ADMIN/'); hence loads index.php

There are several .htaccess syntax checkers available on the Internet. I would recommend trying one of those on your code to see if it is working as intended.

Hi Craig

I have testet this and should be okay.
I requested MyTime support, but they could not help me with this issue. answer from MyTime "we are unable to complete your request because we are not familiar with the particular coding errors you have indicated"

I have search regarding this error and it looks to like NS have a problem! I hope someone can guide me in direction to solve this problem or suggest an alternative web host ?
Thanks
