   Hey all,

   Unfortunately I am encountering the following error:

   Iam using the wordpress download monitor plugin.

   After changing the 'Custom Download URL' to downloads/ [filename] and re-saving the permalinks (I use: /%postname%/), Im receiving a deadly 500 Internal Server Error.

   The .htaccess has to be modified for chaning the ugly url (wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=x) into (downloads/filename)..

   I checked the .htaccess and it changed to:

   # BEGIN WordPress
   
   Options +FollowSymLinks
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteRule ^downloads/(.*)$ wp-content/plugins/download-monitor
   /download.php?id=$1 [L]
   
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   
   # END WordPress

   with:
   

   Options +FollowSymLinks
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteRule ^downloads/(.*)$ wp-content/plugins/download-monitor
   /download.php?id=$1 [L]

   was added.

   Anybody inspirations??

   Thanks in advance,

   Vincent

   Maybe:
   

   Options +FollowSymLinks
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteRule ^downloads/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ wp-content/plugins/download-monitor
   /download.php?id=$1 [L]

   Just a thought, hope this helps:)

   Hey mfielfs,
   Tnx for your reaction! Its not working..I dont understand the problem anyway, because at my localhost it is working. so it should be something on my hosting server settings I guess..

   Hey, not sure if you're still after a fix for this problem, but I fixed the same problem you encountered by removing the following line:

   Options +FollowSymLinks
