Hi,

When I upoad the .htaccess file to my webhost, I get a 500 Internal Server Error for every Page.
error_reporting reporting does not hava a value and session.save_handler is set to file,
which is the only thing that differs from the requirements. Are those two settings the problem or not?

The easiest way to find out will be to leave those two settings to their default value and try to load the site. If you still see 500, it might be something to do with Apache.

By leaving the settings to their defaults you mean to convince my webhoster to switch the settings to Drupal need, don't you?
I'll try to, but I'm not sure if he will just switch the properties for my purpose.

I don't think this has to do with any Drupal settings.

On some hosts certain directives are not allowed in an .htaccess file and you need to remove them. Usually these are the Options ... lines, and sometimes a couple more. You need to try removing some lines and see what happens.

I have also encountered this when I upload an .htaccess file customized for another server and I forget to reset it to the default.

Usually the directives which you can't use are already set to something sensible by the host, and probably you won't have problems.

I uploaded an unmodified version of .htaccess and now this error disappeared.
Before, I probably wrote something wrong in the redirect directives, or the error occured, because there is no redirect module on the server as I just noticed.

Thanks for your help though,
