<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> Hi to all BlueX gurus,</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">></SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> I've got a web developer driving me crazy. And I was wondering if</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> someone here might have heard of this problem.</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">></SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> He's trying to implement some of the Search Engine Optimization</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> abilities in Apache. It calls for a .htaccess file in the root</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> directory of the website. The .htaccess file is supposed to</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> implement some RewriteEngine configurations (even though there are</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> already some in the vhosts configuration file.</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">></SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> But each time he puts a .htaccess file in the root directory of the</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> Joomla websites - it breaks the site which responds with a 500</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> error. He claims that no matter what he puts in the .htaccess file</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> - it breaks the site.</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">></SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> Has anyone run into this problem before? Or does anyone have</SPAN></div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;color:navy;">> experience with SEO and the RewriteEngine configurations??</SPAN></div>
