.htaccess file is affecting my other websites on Godaddy

Posted by aroumanis on July 8, 2010 at 8:21pm

Hello,

My first website was built using Drupal, and is currently hosted through Godaddy http://engagebooks.ca. The website works fine, however I am running into difficulties with my other sites. I tried uploading a new website to my server on Godaddy, using iWeb, but I am getting a 500 Internal Server error when I go to the site. When I called Godaddy they said that it's my Drupal .htaccess file that is affecting my iWeb website. The new website will work if you enter http://mattycox.com/Matty_Cox/Welcome.html but not if you enter http://mattycox.com. When Godaddy deleted my .htaccess file, the iWeb website worked perfectly, but my Drupal site stopped working, so I asked them to put the .htaccess file back up. Godaddy said I would have to either edit my .htaccess file, or add a new .htaccess file to my iWeb website. I'm not sure how to do this, or if it's even possible? My only other option is to open a new hosting account for $6.99 a month, for my non-Drupal websites. And insight would be greatly appreciated.

Someone recommended that I upload a new .htaccess file mattycox.com 's home directory. But this did not work... Any other thoughts? Do I have to edit my route .htaccess file (the one that allows the engagebooks.ca website to function?)

Thanks,

Alexis

Could you post the contents

Could you post the contents of your .htaccess? You could maybe ask godaddy to check the error log for the exact error message? I'm not familiar with the godaddy services, but when they use cpanel you can check your error logs yourself under the Log panel -> Error Log

Inn general, .htaccess files

Posted by namutehy on January 16, 2012 at 9:47am

Inn general, .htaccess files use the same syntax as the main configuration files. What you can put in these files is determined by the AllowOverride directive. This directive specifies, in categories, what directives will be honored if they are found in a .htaccess file. If a directive is permitted in a .htaccess file, the documentation for that directive will contain an Override section, specifying what value must be in AllowOverride in order for that directive to be permitted. y8 games y8 y8 games
