I recently began to build a Link shortener and I had to use the .htaccess so that I can change the link so that something like website.com/23hG3 would go to say google instead of something like website.com/index.php?title=23hG3
After I tested this on my own local server and watching as it works I put it on my server here and I got this:
glith.co is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500
This is my .htaccess :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/? index.php?title=$1 [L,QSA]
