Change htaccess.txt to .htaccess [solved] - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

hi,

i've done few sites without problems today came across quite issue:

1. in order take advantage of "url rewriting in global config" went server , changed name of htaccess.txt file .htaccess
2. when check "use url re writing" option , hit refresh screen stating internal server error?
3. when refresh frontend web page screen stating internal server error?

i don't think i've done different site cause this, , said rest of ym sites fine. ideas why has happened site?

i'm using joomla 2.5.7 these sites.

did take away # in .htaccess?

and else, site in subdirectory? if yes might have add directory name behind / (the 1 take # away from).

for example: www.example.com/this

then have add this behind / in .htaccess
