Rewrite causing server error?

[conker87]

This is the .htaccess file I'm using:

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^articles/([a-z0-9-]*)/$ index.php?article=$1 [NC]
#RewriteRule ^reviews/([a-z0-9-]*)/$ index.php?review=$1 [NC,L]
#RewriteRule ^strips/([a-z0-9-]*)/$ index.php?strip=$1 [NC,L]
#RewriteRule ^users/([a-z0-9-]*)/$ index.php?user=$1 [NC,L]
#RewriteRule ^pages/([a-z0-9-]*)/$ index.php?page=$1 [NC,L]]

 

However it's now causing a 500 error, which it wasn't doing earlier. Even with all 5 rules commented out it still brings up an error.

Check your sites error log. Your server may not have the mod_rewrite module enabled.

If you're commenting out all the rules, and your site turns up an error, the problem is with some PHP file, and not the .htaccess
