My whole website is on error... How can i fix this? My host restore my website to a week earlier, and that did not fix the problem




In my error logs, this is what i'm seeing:

/home2/******/.htaccess: Option FollowSymLinks not allowed here

+1 to FoxTechs' reply.

I googled it, and here is what I have found:

"host has tightened up its security settings and now forbids +FollowSymLinks option in .htaccess. This causes an error 500 when accessing the site. When they introduced this policy they automatically converted +FollowSymLinks to +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch."

Try using solution for Joomla on Oxwall. May be  this will help you.

Redirecting (URL Rewriting) with Joomla

To enable URL Rewriting in Joomla you will need to copy and paste the following code into your .htaccess file.

# For security reasons, Option followsymlinks cannot be overridden.
#Options +FollowSymLinks
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

Oxwall works great on Bluehost.
