If you are still on Apache 2.2 then that explains the server error when using RewriteOptions IgnoreInherit (requires Apache 2.4.8+). Yes, it would seem you will need to contact the "server team" to know what is going on here. Your redirect directive looks OK. Alternatively, you could implement this redirect within your web application (Drupal 7?) instead? I've updated my answer.

Update regarding the bypass of htaccess
|
| Jan 8, 2020 at 19:42 | comment | added | nschildre |
Apache 2.2.15. Yes there is no server error for subpages. I did add something at the start of the .htaccess and had again a server error for the homepage and no server error for the subpages. So I guess you are right, the server team here is blocking my .htaccess file for the subpages. I will have to contact them again to see why this is the case. I just wanted to double check that my directive code was correct. But I guess that is the case. Thanks for your help in figuring out this strange issue.

What version of Apache are you on? Can you check your server's error log for the details of that error? If there was no "Internal Server Error" for subpages then that would seem to imply that the .htaccess (or mod_rewrite) was completely bypassed for such requests?! Try adding some "random nonsense" to the start of the .htaccess file and repeat the test: homepage vs subpages.

When I added RewriteOptions IgnoreInherit to my .htaccess file, I got an Internal Server Error on the homepage. There was no error on any of the subpages, but they were also not served over https.

| Jan 7, 2020 at 23:35 | comment | added | MrWhite | Yes. You can add it at the top of the file, it doesn't matter. (What do you mean "URLs are routed by our server team"?) | |

RewriteOptions IgnoreInherit is added inside the existing mod_rewrite after RewriteEngine on then followed by RewriteCond ...?

Try (temporarily) addingRewriteOptions IgnoreInherit before your existing directives in your .htaccess file.
|
|
| Jan 7, 2020 at 22:03 | comment | added | nschildre | Yes that is correct. | |
| Jan 7, 2020 at 21:28 | comment | added | MrWhite |
And where is the "root folder of your website"? Is this in the /spintx subdirectory? How are the URLs being routed?

I don't control the server config/virtual host. My .htaccess file is located in the root folder of my website. I have the mod_rewrite issue with several websites that are hosted on that server, but my htaccess websites do work. In one instance I successfully increased the php_value memory_limit.

The "front-controller" could be in the main server config / virtual host. If it is then you won't be able to change this behaviour in .htaccess. Do you not control these aspects of the website? Where exactly in the .htaccess file located? Do you have other .htaccess files in subdirectories? "other htaccess directives on the server" - they are "Apache directives", .htaccess is just a context in which they can be used.

|
| Jan 7, 2020 at 19:20 | comment | added | nschildre | That is the only mod_rewrite code in my htaccess file. I don't know if there are other htaccess directives on the server, since I am not maintaining the server. So could this front-controller be somewhere else on the server? | |
