 * Hi, I recently updated my server OS, I changed from debian to ubuntu (16.04),
   anyway, I backed up everything, but I’m having troubles with this situation in
   specific.

 * I have php 7.0 and I guess it is a problem on my htaccess but I don’t know how
   to fix it.
 * But my sites present the same problem.
 * Thank you for your help,
 * Carlos.

 * Hello Carlos,
 * I have found that when I download a site from many hosts, I need to comment out
   the AddHandler in .htaccess or I get the same behavior you are experiencing. 
   Here is some information about the AddHandler command:

 * I hope this helps!

 * Hi, I once backed up my wordpress with duplicator, it seems I lost the original.
   htaccess (or I cannot find it) and I have 4 files that say original, example:
 * htaccess.170823161829.orig
 * How do I recreated it?

 * The htaccess.170823161829.orig might give you something to go on. You can check
   that and see if it works. Just rename that file to .htaccess or copy the contents
   into a new .htaccess file and give it a try. Is there an AddHandler line in the
   file?

 * There is no add handler, I have 3 orig files all of those redirect to a new htaccess,
   but none has anything but a message saying to check htaccess X

 * I tried to restore the .htaccess by writing the following .htaccess:
 * > # BEGIN WordPress
   >  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / 
   > RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond%{
   > REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress
 * However it doesn’t work for me. What should I do?

 * Hmmmmm… here is an example of what is in my .htaccess file for a site hosted 
   using PHP 7.1:
 * `AddHandler application/x-httpd-php71 .php .php5 .php4 .php3`
 * Because I am running PHP 7.1. I just changed it to PHP 7.0 to test, and I get
   this:
 * `AddHandler application/x-httpd-php70 .php .php5 .php4 .php3`
 * I would try that in your .htaccess.
