Other / Modrewrite throws 500 error with php 5.6 but not with 7.x

« on: May 27, 2020, 01:58:09 PM »

I have one old site that I've not upgraded.  So I tried selecting php 5.6 for it.  But I get a 500 error and the logs show:

<snip>/public_html/.htaccess: RewriteRule: bad flag delimiters, referer: <snip>

On the same CWP server the exact same set of rules are working fine on another site running php 7.x. Therefore I conclude it is something related. This is the .htaccess file.  The actuual file name were replaced for this post:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php56 .php

# AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm  #works on local host
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm

# DirectoryIndex offline.html index.php
DirectoryIndex offline.html index.html index.php
RewriteEngine on



#ErrorDocument 404 /404.html


# rewrite base will need to be adjusted for use on server, most likely to /
# localhost on xammpp, when active dierctory is xampp/htdocs/dirname then RewriteBase needs /dirname/
# or just don't use it at all.  It seems to work fine without it also.
#RewriteBase /dirname/

# These are the problem lines

# rewites the script1.php URLs using / note the $3 is for the pagination
RewriteRule ^([0-9] )/(.*)-([0-9] )\.html$ script1.php?cat_id=$1&page=$3 [L,NC]


# rewrites the script2.php URLs using P- and /
RewriteRule ^P-([0-9] )/(.*)\.html$ script2.php?id=$1 [L,NC]

# rewrites the script3.php URLs
RewriteRule ^([0-9] )-(.*)\.html$ script3.php?id=$1 [L,NC]

Updates / Cwp pro not installed but it is

« on: May 12, 2020, 03:46:16 PM »

Logged in this morning and again I see that error message that pro is not installed but it is.  I paid yearly and have 8 months left.

This is not the first time this has happened.

Rebooting the server did not solve the problem.

How can we fix this?
