[solved] having a .htaccess file causes server (500) errors...

[psygarden]

I remember having this issue with vhcs2 and now i've run into it with ispcp, i hope there's a solution, or that i'm just making a dumb mistake that i can fix easely!

the problem is that i need to be able to rewrite urls using mod-rewrite. Now as soon as i have a .htaccess file in my htdocs folder i get "Error 500! - Internal Server Error!" errors.

Here is most of my .htaccess file:

Quote:RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks


ErrorDocument 400 /error.php?400
ErrorDocument 401 /error.php?401
ErrorDocument 403 /error.php?403
ErrorDocument 404 /error.php?404
ErrorDocument 500 /error.php?500

Does anyone have suggestions how to get a working setup while using all these rewrite rules?

Kind regards,
