500 Error .htaccess Issue

# Set the base URL to reflect the naa2023 folder
RewriteBase /naa2023/

# Ensure the requested file or directory doesn't exist
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# Redirect requests to the 'web' folder under 'naa2023'
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /naa2023/web/$1 [L]

# Disable directory listing
Options -Indexes
this causing 500 status error

1. **Check `.htaccess` Syntax:**
Ensure there are no syntax errors in the `.htaccess` file. The code you provided seems mostly fine, but make sure the file is properly formatted.

2. **Correct Rewrite Base:**
Ensure that the `RewriteBase` directive points to the correct subdirectory. You’ve set it to `/naa2023/`, which should be correct if your application is hosted in that folder.

3. **Check `mod_rewrite` Module:**
Ensure that the `mod_rewrite` module is enabled on your server. You can check this by running `apache2ctl -M` (for Apache servers) and look for `rewrite_module` in the list of loaded modules.

4. **File Permissions:**
Verify that your `.htaccess` file and the web directory files have the correct file permissions. In most cases, files should have `644` permissions and directories should have `755` permissions.

5. **Error Logs:**
Check the Apache error logs for more specific details about what’s causing the 500 error. The error log should point to the exact problem. In Apache, this is usually located in `/var/log/apache2/error.log` or `/var/log/httpd/error_log`.

6. **Test RewriteRule:**
You might want to test the `RewriteRule` separately to check if it’s working properly. You can add a simple test line temporarily to debug:

RewriteRule ^test$ /naa2023/web/test [L]

Then visit `yourdomain.com/naa2023/test` to see if it redirects as expected.

7. **Apache Configurations:**
In some cases, Apache might require additional settings in the main configuration files (`httpd.conf` or `apache2.conf`) to allow `.htaccess` overrides. You can check if the `AllowOverride` directive is set to `All` for the directory containing your `.htaccess` file:

<Directory /path/to/your/naa2023>
       AllowOverride All
   </Directory>

8. **Check for Other .htaccess Files:**
Ensure there are no conflicting `.htaccess` files in parent directories (e.g., the root directory) that might be causing issues.

After checking these points, if the error persists, providing specific error log details will help in further diagnosing the issue.
