.htaccess: order not allowed here

I was getting an 500 Internal Server Error when trying to access Drupal after installing it, when I checked the http error log it said : .htaccess: order not allowed here.


After adding this to the httpd.conf and restarted apache it worked:


< directory "/home/httpd/html/drupal" >
AllowOverride FileInfo Limit Options Indexes
< /directory >


change "/home/httpd/html/drupal" to wherever your document root is.

    Here is what fixed the "500 Internal Server Error" and my http error log that said : .htaccess: order not allowed here.

    I'll put a (bracket) where there should be an actual bracket character. This form doesn't allow me to put the actual bracket.

    My .htaccess file

    AuthName "example"
    AuthUserFile /home/example/passwd
    AuthType Basic
    (bracket) LimitExcept NONE (bracket)
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    allow from 1.1.1.1
    require valid-user
    Satisfy any
    (bracket)/LimitExcept(bracket)




    In my httpd.conf file:


    (bracket)VirtualHost test.example.com(bracket)
    ServerAdmin admin@example.com
    DocumentRoot /home/example/www
    ServerName test.example.com
    ErrorLog logs/example-error_log
    CustomLog logs/example-access_log combined
    (bracket)Directory /home/example/www(bracket)
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
    AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    (bracket)/Directory(bracket)
    (bracket)/VirtualHost(bracket)
