After the installation of Drupal 5.5, I added a second site to my hosting server. The problem is that the new site is down because of .htaccess. I know the reason because I asked it to my hosting company. But they don't help me to troubleshoot. I am not familiar with .htaccess even hosting.

I found http://drupal.org/node/30334 by searching ".htaccess" here. I opened my .htaccess file with notepad, I modified the .htacces by following the instructions there. Now it gives http 500 error.

I don't know what I am doing wrong. I must use my hosting faccount for my 11 domains immediately. I need a stable solution for this.

Are you using Drupal for that second site? If not, it might help to know which Web application you are using. Also, is Drupal at the document root or in a subdirectory?

For now, though I reload the original .htaccess file back on your server so at least you get the Drupal site back up.

No, Drupal is already installed in the main directory (/) and it works without any problem. I also installed a one page selling site into the main directory which has index.html file and some other 2-3 files. It's not a complicated site even it has not a database. This site gives 403 error not Drupal.
The server is Apache. I don't know about the Web application.
.htaccess is original and Drupal site has no problem. But .htaccess needs to be modified to give required permissions for the 403 error site.

Newbii,

Drupal's .htaccess results in running of index.php in the main folder
and in its subfolders.
You can still run your index.html in the Drupal's folder,
if you use http://www.example.com/index.html instead of http://www.example.com

If you want to run index.html as the default file in the subdomains,
you should create .htaccess in the respective subfolders, containing the line:

DirectoryIndex index.html

best,
gregor
