Internal Server Error .htaccess

Question

I have a problem with my .htaccess file.

In my .htaccess file I have this:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^user/([0-9a-zA-Z]+) user.php?u=$1 [NC, L]

And it is placed in my C:/../wamp/www/mysite/

My site worked before I had this file, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm kind of new to this aswell so it's bound to go wrong. Whenever I run my site I get the error: Internal Server Error

"The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request."

I guess add a `$` before `user.php`. I have put it in an answer. Tell me if it works. — Praveen Kumar Purushothaman, Mar 29 '16 at 10:00
@PraveenKumar , it says "Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration" — Denny123, Mar 29 '16 at 10:05
Nopes, that doesn't solve. Open a new file, using Notepad or basic text editor and type it. Don't paste it. Looks like a malformed `.htaccess` file. — Praveen Kumar Purushothaman, Mar 29 '16 at 10:07
**1.** Find the `httpd.conf` file (usually you will find it in a folder called conf, config or something along those lines) **2.** Inside the `httpd.conf` file uncomment the line `LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so` (remove the pound '`#`' sign from in front of the line) **3.** Also find the line `ClearModuleList` is uncommented then find and make sure that the line `AddModule mod_rewrite.c` is not commented out. — Praveen Kumar Purushothaman, Mar 29 '16 at 10:13
You can use the `W` » Apache » Apache Modules » mod_rewrite, if you are using WAMPServer. — Praveen Kumar Purushothaman, Mar 29 '16 at 10:13
@PraveenKumar It can't find "Addmodule mod_rewrite.c" and" ClearModuleList" in the httpd.conf file — Denny123, Mar 29 '16 at 10:20
Did you try searching for `LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so`, just search for `mod_rewrite`. — Praveen Kumar Purushothaman, Mar 29 '16 at 10:20
@PraveenKumar , it only finds the LoadModule rewrite_module thing, not the rest — Denny123, Mar 29 '16 at 10:22

If you are struggling with this, there's a Youtube video on how to do it: [**Youtube: How to enable rewrite module in WAMP Server?**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYACNC_RhF0) — Praveen Kumar Purushothaman, Mar 29 '16 at 10:25
It is because of the space. Change your rewrite rule's flags to `[NC,L]`. — Praveen Kumar Purushothaman, Mar 29 '16 at 10:54

You haven't finished the rule, change it to:

RewriteRule ^user/([0-9a-zA-Z]+)$ user.php?u=$1 [NC,L]
#-------------------------------^

Okay, now that it looks like you haven't enabled the rewrite engine. Check .htaccess: Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration for more information on how to enable it.

Update: If you are struggling with this, there's a Youtube video on how to do it: Youtube: How to enable rewrite module in WAMP Server?

Update: If you get Bad Flag Delimiters error, please don't give any spaces between the flags. For more information, see RewriteRule Error: Bad flag delimiters.

Ok, i did everything, but it says that "mysite/profile/user/xxx was not found on this server" – Denny123 Mar 29 '16 at 10:59
This is my .htaccess: "RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^user/([0-9a-zA-Z]+)$ user.php?u=$1 [NC,L]" – Denny123 Mar 29 '16 at 10:59
@Denny123 Try `mysite/user/xxx`? – Praveen Kumar Purushothaman Mar 29 '16 at 10:59
The initial part of the answer is incorrect. It is not a requirement to have `$` at the end of a regular expression. Most likely the `mod_rewrite` was not enabled. – Rolice Mar 29 '16 at 11:05
@Rolice True. I checked. :) – Praveen Kumar Purushothaman Mar 29 '16 at 11:06
