Internal Server Error

"The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, you@example.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log."

This is the message I get after adding the .htaccess file and pasting in the rules from the notes associated with the video.

Apache error log:

[Thu Jan 03 19:54:48 2019] [alert] [client ::1] /Users/Eliyah/Documents/slimmin/.htaccess: RewriteRule: bad flag delimiters

Rules added to .htaccess :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

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

Ok ... so the space between the comma and the L was causing the error.

changed:

RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA, L]

to:

RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]

and it works just fine.

They were pasted directly from the notes. Might want to update them.

It's even got a space in the quiz after the video.
