.htaccess question (I think)?

[John]

Ok so when I create php file on root of my server I get

500 Internal Server Error

This is my htaccess

ServerSignature Off
Options -Indexes

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^api$ api.php [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>

ErrorDocument 400 default
ErrorDocument 401 default
ErrorDocument 403 default
ErrorDocument 404 default
ErrorDocument 500 default 

What should I change?

you are saying "on root of my server"

does that mean php file will work in subfolders ??

[John]

I don't know what exactly u mean but it is here

/public_html/test.php

or here

domain.com/test.php

You are logging in as root instead of the site login?? That could cause the 500 error because the file will belong to the wrong owner.

Try logging in with the username password used to create the site in cpanel or ??

Then create the file and run it. See if you get that error again.
