Hi,

I still get this `Internal Server Error′,
that stops my startpage, i.e. my blog login page,

Hi Hans,

I checked in the logs to find the exact issue that Christopher corrected on your .htaccess:

Since it’s already been fixed, it’s difficult to find what exactly modified the file, however I believe that it was likely through the WordPress admin section. The permalinks settings sometimes cause issues like this.

In order to prevent this from happening again, I could make that .htaccess file read-only. That way, modification would not get written to the file and you would not get the internal server errors.

Of course, ideally, we would like to find which plugin or feature is modifying the .htaccess file thusly.

Please let me know how you would like to proceed.
