Hello,

I'm building a website for a client who's hosting is at one.com.

I want to enable clean URL's on my drupal site. When I tried to do so I got a "500 Internal server" fault message. I googled and found a solution:

I changed and added:

# Don't show directory listings for URLs which map to a directory.
# Options -Indexes

# Follow symbolic links in this directory.
# Options +FollowSymLinks

# Multiviews creates problems with aliased URLs and is not needed for Drupal.
# Options -Multiviews

Now my website runs again. But when I try to test the clean URL, nothing happens. So clearly there is still a problem with my .htacces configuration.

Can anyone please help me with this problem? Keep in mind I cannot acces any server configuration or simply change the hosting company.

Thanks!

Anyone? I really need to enable those clean URL's...

It looks like you've done everything right...
this thread discusses your issue.
ShutterFreak says:

On One.com you cannot override the root Apache Options directives or you get a 500 server error.
Hence make sure you prefix all Options lines in your .htaccess files with a pound ('#') sign to deactivate those configurations.

Perhaps you should restore the .htaccess back to one.com's default and put the recommended changes in again. It's probably something really annoying.

Good luck :)

I've been able to fix the clean url issue with the following .htacces code:

#
# Apache/PHP/Drupal settings:
#

# Protect files and directories from prying eyes.
<FilesMatch "(\.(engine|inc|install|module|sh|.*sql|theme|tpl(\.php)?|xtmpl)|code-style\.pl|Entries.*|Repository|Root)$">
  Order deny,allow
  Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

# Set some options.
##Options -Indexes
##Options +FollowSymLinks

# Customized error messages.
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

# Set the default handler.
DirectoryIndex index.php

# Override PHP settings. More in sites/default/settings.php
# but the following cannot be changed at runtime.

# PHP 4, Apache 1

##  php_value register_globals                0
##  php_value session.auto_start              0
##</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_expires.c>
  ExpiresByType text/html A1
</IfModule>

# Various rewrite rules.

  RewriteEngine on

  # If your site can be accessed both with and without the prefix www.
  # you can use one of the following settings to force user to use only one option:
  #
  # If you want the site to be accessed WITH the www. only, adapt and uncomment the following:
  # RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
  # RewriteRule .* http://www.example.com/ [L,R=301]
  #
  # If you want the site to be accessed only WITHOUT the www. , adapt and uncomment the following:

  # Modify the RewriteBase if you are using Drupal in a subdirectory and

  #RewriteBase /drupal

- CLEAN URL's now work

- BUT! When I upload an image, I can't view the image and I get the 500 warning again.

Anyone who knows a fix?

I can upload an image normally, no problem.

But the image doesn't get displayed in my node. When right click the (?) safari warning, open image in a new window. I see the 500 internal server error.

You can view the site live: http://dirkpieters.be/node/56

Does anyone have a fix for this?
Thanks!

Okay I found a solution.

Just delete .htacces in /sites/delfault/file.

Hi,
It also works for me on my one.com hosting if I delete the .htaccess file in de sites folder but when I add new content, the .htaccess file gets created again in the sites folder and then I doenst work anymore...

Did you have the same problem?

DriesP’s picture

DriesP commented

Yes I did. I found a solution for the problem:

Instead of deleting the .htacces file in that folder you should edit it. like so:

SetHandler Drupal_Security_Do_Not_Remove_See_SA_2006_006
# Set some options.
#Options -Indexes
#Options +FollowSymLinks

Hope this helped, it helped me.

I have used the following code in .htaccess, which seems to be working (includes boost). Only problem is that when doing a database update or some other "slow" tasks it ends with a 500 error. If you do it again it says that no database updates have to be done, so I think the update is still working... Also it is quite slow. Therefore I have disabled several modules, including overlay, update manager and some more. Boost takes care of that my site is fast for anonymous users, but somehow the boost crawler isn't working, so after a cron run I have to visit all pages manually to make my site fast for anonymous users ;)
