.htaccess for Dreamhost users « Open Classifieds

If any of you it's currently using Dreamhost as Hosting provider, since yesterday they had made some modificataions deprecating "Options +FollowSymlinks".

This means your site will return an 500 Error.

After talking to the support for more than 1 hour they admitted they have made changes in the policies and now we should use "Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch" instead.

Pretty bad communication from them and making this changes without noticing them.

If you are affected by this issue, please your .htaccess should look like this to get to work:

ErrorDocument 404 /
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^category/(.+) index.php?category=$1
RewriteRule ^offer/(.+) index.php?category=$1&type=0
RewriteRule ^need/(.+) index.php?category=$1&type=1
RewriteRule ^type/(.+) index.php?type=$1
RewriteRule ^publish-a-new-ad-for-free/ new/index.php
RewriteRule ^contact/ contact/index.php
RewriteRule ^privacy-policy/ privacy/index.php
RewriteRule ^sitemap/ sitemap/index.php
RewriteRule ^advanced-search/ search/index.php
RewriteRule ^map/ map/index.php
RewriteRule ^(.+)/(.+)/(.+)/(.+)$ item.php?item=$1&type=$2&category=$3&title=$4
</IfModule>

This would be fixed for 1.6.1 that is coming soon with few improvements to make your life easier.

I'm getting pretty annoyed by this hosting, since I use a Privvate Server and this things should never happen (as this other one http://j.mp/d8WVXY).
