.htaccess: RewriteEngine not allowed here

Question

I uploaded the .htaccess to the server and received an Error 500 (Internal Server Error).

And in the error log I had the following error:

Answer 1

you could use something like this in your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|html|test)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

this code simply means, that anything not pointing to index.php or html or test should be directed to index.php!

Hope this is helpful!
