i have a website running on XAMPP.

i don't know about its version of php that the web site is written by and version of apache too.

I want to move it on windows but got the message 00-Internal server error occurs.

i did it too ( wamp->apache->apache modules->rewrite-modules ) and restart my wamp but nothing happened.

And here is the error that i see :

Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator at admin@localhost to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

What is the solution!

i will be thankful

You'll need to provide a lot more detail here. The error you've described can mean many different things. First, where are you moving the site's contents from and to? - ashastral
Go to error log and copy-paste last error. - Vinay
Agree with the above Comments. As a Suggestion, please post your .htaccess file. - Vijay Sarin

You should activate the rewrite module in the file httpd.conf.

Change this line :

#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

to :

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

remove (or move) .htaccess file from your www wamp folder...

Re: 500 Internal Server Error

Check that you have the the apache rewrite module loaded.

go to wamp_manager -> apache -> modules and look for rewrite_module in the list.

If it does not have a TICK beside it click it. Apache will be bounced ( stop, start ). Try again.

The rewite engine will not work without the required module loaded.

Is quite common to use the deflate tag invoking some filters. Like this:

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css text/javascript application/x-javascript application/javascript image/svg+xml
</IfModule>

If the Deflate Module is enabled, but not Filter Module, you will also get the error 500.
