W3 Total Cache Plugin writing htaccess file

Over the past two days, 500 internal server errors have been detected on our three sites. After investigation, we found that the .htaccess file is being written. Deleting the .htaccess file solved the problem. Does anyone know about this issue? Is the W3 Total Cache plugin to write to a .htaccess file? We are using WordPress 3.5.2

As Denis said, the W3TC plugin really writes to your .htaccess file. Thus, various functions are activated through apache in the visitors browser ...

There are some bugs in the plugin on the W3TC forum that write corupt.htaccess and nginx.conf -files, but try:

  • Updating the plugin to the latest version
  • To enable one function at a time, to see which function is causing a 500 error

Deleting the .htaccess file effectively prevents W3 Total Cache from working. You need this if you intend to run W3TC.

This 500 error has happened to me and my clients several times. I would suggest that you:

  • Clear all caches using the WP "Clear All Caches" admin panel.

  • Allow W3TC to write to your htaccess file by changing any settings (you can change it back).

  • Clear your browser’s cache and cookies.

It works for me.
