Corrupt .htaccess file?

[chefbyte]

Hi,

Just gave 3 a spin and installed ok as per instructions, tried to sign in and got an internal server error.
I changed the RewriteBase to reflect my sub folder
All folders and files CHMOD as per instructions

.htaccess Existance
/data/ Good 'Deny' file - OK
/data/uploads/ Good 'Allow' file - OK
/data/thumbs/ Good 'Allow' file - OK
/data/pages/ Missing file - Warning
/plugins/ Good 'Deny' file - OK
/data/other/ Missing file - Warning
/data/other/logs/ Missing file - Warning
/theme/ No file - OK

if I rename .htaccess in the root folder, I can log into the site and view all and the health check is all ok?

Paste here your .htaccess content and /data/other/website.xml.

Paste here your .htaccess content and /data/other/website.xml.

htaccess

Code:

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
Options -Indexes

# blocks direct access to the XML files - they hold all the data!
<Files ~ "\.xml$">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
    Satisfy All
</Files>
<Files sitemap.xml>
        Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Satisfy All
</Files>

RewriteEngine on

# Usually it RewriteBase is just '/', but
# replace it with your subdirectory path
RewriteBase **/newsite1/**

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]

website.xml

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<item><SITENAME><![CDATA[55002 KOYLI]]></SITENAME><SITEURL><![CDATA[http://www.55002koyli.com/newsite1/]]></SITEURL><TEMPLATE><![CDATA[Innovation]]></TEMPLATE><PRETTYURLS></PRETTYURLS><PERMALINK></PERMALINK></item>
