mod_rewrite ??(.htaccess)

[alexmosutheskypirate]

hello people
i have a PostNuke site and i want to install a module that allows google to see my dynamic content.
the module asks for ---.htaccess (special mod_rewrite rules)
it comes with a .htaccess file...and the install.txt says the server must have mod_rewrite
does hostgator have this?
and am i supposed to copy all the content of the new .htaccess to my old one...?? the special mod rewrite rules are there...

here is the .htaccess must i copy all of it to my .htaccess?

so if no one can tell me nothin' about the mod_rewrite...can you please tell me if it's safe to copy that content to my .htaccess
thanks

saludos

mod_rewrite is enabled by default. Back up your current .htaccess if you have one and copy that into a new one. If you have any issues with it just open a ticket up support@hostgator.com

see we Alexes help each other xDDDDD LOL

 $domain			= "http://www.yourdomain.de/index.php";

    //-- Meta-Tags
    $countrycode    = "de";
    $charset        = "text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1";
    $keywords       = "enter your keywords separated by kommas";
    $author         = "enter the author";
    $descr          = "enter the description wich is shown in the search-results ".few($keywords,7);
    $orgemail       = "enter your email";
    $copyright      = "enter the copyright";
    $title          = "enter the title wich is also shown in the title of the index.html ".few($keywords,7);

    //-- Content
    $maintext       = "enter the main text wich is a summary of all the things visitors can get on your page";

    //-- Just in case you like to add some links
    $addings        = '<h1>'.
                        '<a href="http://www.dmmv.de">DMMV</a>'.
                        '<a href="http://www.google.de">Google</a>'.
                        '<a href="http://www.yahoo.de">Yahoo</a>'.
                        '</h1>';

i edited all of the fields with the obvious data...
can someones indicate what will this do..or where will the description show..?
this is used by spiders to index my page...
in author i put my name
in description i put the description of my site....we'll see if it shows ok ..if not i'll have to change it jejej

thanks !!!

troble..now i have index.php and index.html in my root..
and when i go to http://mydomain.com ..i get a..
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

what can i do?
saludos

If the server you are in is running phpSuExec (check this thread: http://forums.hostgator.com/showthread.php?t=8822) you can NOT have lines like this:

php_flag session.use_trans_sid off

or ANY PHP settings in your .htaccess file. If you have you will get that 500-error.

[alexmosutheskypirate]

now i renamed the index.html to index.php3 and it works now..
im using phpSuExec yes..
now the javascript doesn`t work in my site...ahmm(i have a js file and links like javascript:alex() etc..and they show internal server error now..)
what should i do? create a php.ini or something ?

and could you look at my .htaccess in the first post and see what i can't use an must eliminate..!
thanks

saludos

[alexmosutheskypirate]

i just eliminated all of the new .htaccess and javascript works...so..
i'll just eliminate some stuff and see which is the malicious xD

just noticed..the pages that have a href= javascript...something..don't show adsense..why??

saludos
