Can't get google to index site

[annika]

Does anyone know what could cause a "500 Internal Server Error" when trying to use http://validator.w3.org to validate my site. Neither does google recognise that it exsists.

 

Any suggestions are very welcome.

 

My site is http://www.thereefworld.com

 

Thanks,

Annika

most probably something wrong with your htaccess file.

most probably something wrong with your htaccess file.

Here's my .htaccess file, not sure what to look for myself.

 

# $Id: $

#

# This is used with Apache WebServers

#

# For this to work, you must include the parameter 'Options' to

# the AllowOverride configuration

#

# Example:

#

# <Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs">

# AllowOverride Options

# </Directory>

#

# 'All' with also work. (This configuration is in the

# apache/conf/httpd.conf file)

 

# The following makes adjustments to the SSL protocol for Internet

# Explorer browsers

 

#<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>

# <IfDefine SSL>

# SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \

# nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \

# downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

# </IfDefine>

#</IfModule>

 

# If Search Engine Friendly URLs do not work, try enabling the

# following Apache configuration parameter

 

# AcceptPathInfo On

 

# Fix certain PHP values

# (commented out by default to prevent errors occuring on certain

# servers)

 

# php_value session.use_trans_sid 0

# php_value register_globals 1

I don't know what to do about the "Internal Server Error"...

:huh:

 

But you can still validate your page, if it makes any difference to you.

 

Go here:

 

http://validator.w3.org/

 

Copy/paste your URL into the box:

 

http://www.thereefworld.com/

 

Then just below the box, click "More Options"

 

Check the box next to "Validate error pages"

 

Then click "Check"

 

P.S.

 

I'm no ".htaccess guru", but the one you posted doesn't look like it has any problems because all the entries are "commented out".
