#1 i run a url shortening site
#2 there was a hardware problem that required reloading OS and back ups of my site
#3 now I cant get the site to work properly
a) with the htaccess file installed i get internal 500 errors
the htaccess file
the error I get...
b) if I delete the htaccess file, then the site loads and works normally, BUT then I get 400 file not found errors on the redirected url
c) mod_rewrite is installed

Options +FollowSymLinks is not to be here.

Just Remove "Options +FollowSymLinks" And it will fix the problem.
Let me know.
