According to the documentation though, FilesMach is compatible with Apache 1.3 and above: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/core.html#filesmatch

Hmm – but it was working last night! Now I get the error if I turn on Page Caching as well.

But you’re right. I just checked and I have Apache Apache/1.3.33.

I too am having this problem. I was fiddling around with the settings, uninstalled w3 cache, reinstalled and got the “internal server error.”

After some examination, I found that the “FilesMatch” directive in .htaccess was causing the issue when “Browser Caching” was turned on.

Turning browser caching off for the moment. It would be nice to know the reason for the error…

I think we misunderstood each other.

That’s what I’m doing. I’ve created a subdomain w3css.bhagwad.com. The files for w3css.bhagwad.com are in a folder on the same shared server.

Isn’t that what you meant?

Thanks for the reply Frederick.

But in the W3 help section, you’ve recommended just this! From the FAQs

“Create static.domain.com on your server (and update your DNS zone) and then specify the FTP details for it”

Isn’t this what you meant?

Thanks a lot dylancoyne – that worked wonderfully without needing to modify my functions.php file.

I added this .htaccess file from the “Install” section of the plugin to the subdomain folder – it still didn’t send it compressed:

I just saw your comment on another forum to use the wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/ini/_htaccess file in the subdomain, but there isn’t any such file.

I guess the updated version doesn’t have it?

I checked and there isn’t a .htaccess file on the subdomain! The subdomain is just a folder on the main domain, so I didn’t know I would need one. Clearly I seem to be wrong.

Which .htaccess file shall I put into it to make it work like it should?

Sweet!

Thanks for adding an option to display before a certain element!

But the “display before HTML element doesn’t seem to be working for me. Any other instructions I might be missing? It doesn’t display at all when I select the checkbox.

Still works great without it though ??

I called godaddy support – the guy was helpful and saw the problem, but had no clue what was going on.

But try this.

Rename your .htaccess file to something else. Then request a post with a pretty permalink which should then return an error. Rename your .htaccess file back and see if the problem is still there…

Just a shot in the dark.

Also, why do you feel that it’s a stylesheet problem?

Same problem here – Google webmaster tools not accepting the sitemap – same strange redirects.

Would appreciate help from anyone – HAAALPP!

You can use the Permalink Redirect plugin for your last problem.
