Kudakwashe,

This server error is likely due to you having a syntax or spelling error somewhere in your .htaccess file. Really comb through it to make absolutely certain that nothing is out of place, then try uploading it again and see if your server error is fixed.

Hi Erik, thanks. I checked my .htaccess file everything seems to be fine. Here is the code;

RewriteEngine On

Some hosts may require you to use the RewriteBase directive.

If you need to use the RewriteBase directive, it should be the

absolute physical path to the directory that contains this htaccess file.

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]

clear everything in your .htaccess file and replace it with this

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> Options +FollowSymlinks Options +Indexes RewriteEngine on

# if your app is in a subfolder #RewriteBase /my_app/

# test string is a valid files RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f # test string is a valid directory RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?uri=/$1 [NC,L,QSA] # with QSA flag (query string append), # forces the rewrite engine to append a query string part of the # substitution string to the existing string, instead of replacing it. </IfModule>

AddType text/css .less AddType image/svg+xml svg svgz AddEncoding gzip svgz

Hi, if you're using WAMP server and not workspaces try giving Carlos Zavala's answer in this thread a look:
