htaccess internal server error

Question

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong with the following .htaccess redirect code. This seems to be the same as I've used successfully elsewhere but is producing an 'internal server error' here...

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?somedomain.co.uk [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^somedomain.co.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.someother.com/$1 [R=301,NC,L]

Hi,

The code looks fine. Actually, I just tested it on my account at WebFaction and it works. There must be something else that is causing the Internal Server Error. I would suggest that you open a ticket so our support team could look at it for you.

Thanks for testing it. I've created a new static app, copied the same redirect code into a new .htaccess file in that and pointed the domain being redirected at this and it now works. Weird... The only difference is that I created a new php 5.3 static app rather than a php 5.2 but I shouldn't have thought that made any difference given that no php is in use!

I'll highlight it to the support team. Thanks again. Ian.
