500 error

One of our sites (a friend's website) has the following code in the .htaccess file:

<ifModule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml application/xml application/xhtml+xml text/css text/javascript application/javascript application/x-javascript

ExpiresActive On
# Ends after 2 weeks
<filesMatch ".(gif|png|jpg|jpeg|txt)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=1209600"
</filesMatch>

# ends after 1 day
<filesMatch ".(css|js)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=604800"
</filesMatch>
</ifModule>

It works well in cpanel. Recently we have just migrate it to virtualmin, when i open the site, it says 500 error, it works if i removed this block of text in the .htaccess file. Could anyone help how to modify it to make it work in virtualmin server?

Thanks!

Howdy,

A 500 error means Apache is seeing a problem of some sort... and it would generate a log message in $HOME/logs/error_log.

What message do you see logged in $HOME/logs/error_log?

Try to move </ifModule> from the bottom to right after "...javascript", then for the rest use <IfModule mod_headers.c> and group them with that.

Thanks andreychek and Diabolico. I didn't test the methods, but my friends was happy with the solution removing that entire block of text in the htaccess file. He says the site is working normally.

cheers!
