从xamp移到专用服务器时出现500 Internal Server Error

Question

Basically I have this lines into my .htaccess of my personal computer using xamp

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ $1.php
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ /$1/$2.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$
RewriteRule (.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]

Whats append? Im moving to my dedicated server using apache2 on Debian 8.4 And the server gave me the next Error. Why thats append?

Internal Server Error

Answer 1

Sounds like mod_rewrite is not enabled in Apache. To enable it:

a2enmod rewrite
service apache2 restart

Answer 2

Such a mistake may happen because of lack of <ifModule mod_rewrite.c> construction, because this module might not be installed. So, you can add this condition, but mind that it won't solve your problem - you need the module installed to have redirects.

Update:

So, for now you'd better change code to:

<ifModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ $1.php
  RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ /$1/$2.php
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$
  RewriteRule (.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

Then you need to switch the mod_rewrite module, you can read example here: How to install the Apache mod_rewrite module It's more of the system administrating sphere rather than of programming.
