Images are locked by .htaccess I just uploaded a new website to a one.com hosting.
From the start I had some trouble with the .htaccess file, after I was finally able to get everything to work, I ran into another problem.

None of the images appear to be loading, when I browse directly to an image, I get this message


  Internal Server Error
  
  The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
  unable to complete your request.
  
  Please contact the server administrator, support@one.com and inform
  them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done
  that may have caused the error.
  
  More information about this error may be available in the server error
  log.


My .htaccess file is the default one with clean urls enabled.
An .htaccess can cause Internal Server Errors that are unrelated to PHP.  Bad directives in the file (eg, syntax errors) and using restricted directives (eg, doing an Option + that has been denied by the main Apache configuration) are two likely culprits.  I see the later very frequently with shared hosting.

The only way to really debug this is to find the Apache error log.  This varies from system to system.  On my CentOS machines, they are at

/var/logs/httpd/error_log


If this isn't your location, do a find error_log to track it down.  You may need to be root to read this file.
