I've installed drupal 5.12 at /public_html. I deleted .htaccess file by mistake and when I copied the new from original drupal 5.12 it didn't worked.

Whenever I did update earlier during drupal 5 version(s) replacing the all old drupal core files including .htaccess with new ones always worked, so in this case also it should have worked but don't know why isn't it working.....

not sure why this is just cropping up for you now, but depending on how your web server is configured, some of the Apache directives could be giving you problems. just try commenting them out (precede the line in .htaccess with a hash mark: #) and seeing if the error goes away. (assuming you're using clean urls, you can probably comment all of the lines other than the rewrite stuff initially.)

obviously all of these directives serve a purpose, some more important than others (including some that are very important and security related), so once you nail down the offending line(s), do some searching here to figure out the best long-term solution.
