Internal Server Error after secure ht access

First off delete the .htaccess file in your website root folder so that you can get back into your site.
Example website root folder: /public_html/.htaccess.

Next provide the System Information below about your website/Server. You will find this info on the BPS System Info Tab page.

I tried looking at the help and support pages for one.com and found pretty nothing about what they do and do not allow so not much help there. 😉

I looked for help and FAQ pages on your Host and did not find any information about .htaccess files. I did a Chat Session with one.com Hosting support and one.com Hosting does not allow the Options directive to be used in .htaccess files so you will need to comment it out by adding a # sign in front of that Directive in your Root .htaccess file.

# DO NOT SHOW DIRECTORY LISTING
# If you are getting 500 Errors when activating BPS then comment out Options -Indexes
# by adding a # sign in front of it. If there is a typo anywhere in this file you will also see 500 errors.
#Options -Indexes

Chat session with one.com Support (great support):

You are now chatting with ‘Niksaan’
Niksaan: Thank you for using One.com 24/7 Interactive Online Support. My name is Niksaan. How may I assist you?
you: Hello do you allow .htaccess files and do you allow the htaccess file permission to be set to 404 instead of 644 file permissions?
Niksaan: Hello
Niksaan: yes, we do allow .htaccess file, but it depends on the script you will place in the .htaccess file
Niksaan: and you can set its permissions to 404
you: I am assisting one of your customers here – http://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-server-error-after-secure-ht-access?replies=3
you: Ok then do you allow the “Options” directive in htaccess files? example Options -Indexes?
Niksaan: no, we do not allow Options
Niksaan: you need to comment out all options line

you: have a nice day!!!!!!
Niksaan: yes, this is correct 🙂

A 500 error can be caused by a lot of different things and does not necessarily mean the 500 error is occurring because of your .htaccess file.

Have you put BPS in Default Mode to see if the problem is with the .htaccess file?
