Loading ...Website Woes
UPDATE: I continue to have problems with my .htacess file becoming corrupted and I’ve given up looking for solutions…so I came up with one of my own: I stored a clean version of the .htaccess file in a separate folder. I setup a cron job to copy the clean file into the site folder every 30 minutes. It’s not the most elegant solution, but it’s a solution nonetheless. Worse case scenario is the site will be down for a max of 30 minutes.
Hey Blues Fans,
I’m reaching out for some help. As many of you have noticed, the website is down way to often. The cause of the problem is a corrupted .htaccess file. Somehow, the file is being modified, usually with the addition of an extra character…but that one extra letter is enough to cause the crash. My hosting company, though responsive, hasn’t been much help in solving the problem. My internet search has turned up nothing.
Here’s what I need:
1. If you get an Error 500 (Internal Server Error), please send an email to admin@learnblueslicks.com or learnblueslicks@gmail.com (please add these to your contacts list) to alert me the site is down. I will manually fix the problem asap.
2. If anyone has experience with WordPress, Apache server, and .htaccess files, I’d sure appreciate the help. Here is a copy of my correct .htaccess file for reference:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
Thanks,
Haywyre
I think some hacker is fooling with your word press. I have heard of security problems with word press.

Sounds Like Perfect Inspiration For A Blues Song About The Internet…!!! LOL… : )
If that single character is at the beginning of the .htaccess file (like it’s invisible), then use notepad or some other non Microsoft editor that doesn’t deposit a signature byte at the beginning of the file. Most microsoft tools like Word and WordPad tag the files when you edit them. It doesn’t show up on the editor screen, but it’s there.
Maybe that’s your problem.
why dont you put up your correct htaccess and write-protect it?
