.htaccess question

Okay, I have another site/domain on my server that also has my forums. On that other site, there is a contact page, which is .php extension and has a little .js script to send e-mail to me. I THINK it has been working fine, but a few days ago a client contacted me and told me the page is not working (http://www.peblawyer.com/contact_jason_perry.php) and it gives a 500 error.

After contacting tech support, they tell me it is a problem with .htaccess file. I thought it has been running fine (both my forums and the contact us page) but before I start laying into them, I thought I would check. I have only added the default vBSEO .htaccess page without changes. In looking at it, I see the following:

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

Again, stick with me if this is dumb or obvious, I see the #, which means this line is ignored by the script, right? Or do I need to manually change the "yourdomain" to "pebforum"? It seems I would, logically, I just wonder if there is something in the plug in that does this automatically based on what I input in admincp. Thanks in advance for the help!!!

This is driving me nuts. I can't see how that .htaccess would have an effect on the other page/script! The htaccess is in the root, other is in a folder. Is it me or is my hosting company hosed up? Any thoughts are appreciated.

Hello,

if you have that other site located in a subfolder, you can create .htaccess in that folder:

Code:

RewriteEngine off

Oleg,

A two minute fix! You are the best.

My hosting tech support: "Unfortunately, we cannot give tech support or advice on third party yada yada yada...." If they continue to be this bad, I will bite the bullet and migrate all my sites to a new host.

Thanks a million!

I'm glad we got it sorted!
