The page shows HTTP ERROR 500

I just created an .htacess file with this error code

# PHP error handling for development servers

# display startup errors
php_flag display_startup_errors On

# display all other errors
php_flag display_errors On

# specify recording of all php errors
php_value error_reporting -1

# html markup of errors, make them easier to read
php_flag html_errors On

#log errors
php_value log_errors 1

but when view localhost page it only shows

The localhost page isn’t working

localhost is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500

can any of you tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks
