Hi Nishan,

The HTTP 500 error appears to be due to this:

[Thu Oct 16 01:22:59.284874 2014] [core:alert] [pid 955166:tid 139686236325632] [client 198.91.81.4:42026] /home/nishan/.htaccess: RedirectMatch takes two or three arguments, an optional status, then a regular expression and destination URL

We made a change to the HTTP server from LiteSpeed to Apache 2.4, and unfortunately this had the side effect of no longer hiding syntax errors in .htaccess files. I've commented out the two lines in your ~/public_html/.htaccess file until you're able to look into it further.

thanks for quick fix Bryon. But even with those lines commented I still get the same error. I have some .htaccess 301 redirects on almost all 1st level subfolders too which might have the issue but it should not impact loading home page.

Can you please check and update me
regards

cant figure out what the issue all i have on the file is this
RewriteEngine on
<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

update : even a subdomain which I had created gives the same error. I have not touched the default htaccess file here. So I have a strong feeling that this is not related to .htaccess file

You had a .htaccess file in the root of your account which contained malformatted code. I've removed it.

.htaccess files are not cached by Varnish, nor do you need to use that directive to block access-they're blocked by defautl.

dear leafypiggy
Website okay and working. I will need to troubleshoot my own .htaccess files since subfolder level 301s are not working.
Thank you very much
