 * Since upgrading to WP Super Cache 1.4.5, the files generated by Autoptimize are
   now generating a 500 Internal Server Error. It appears to be due to changes in
   the /wp-content/cache/.htaccess file. If I remove the contents of that file, 
   the Autoptimize files serve properly.
 * Please advise.

 * hi intrepidweb;
    I’m AO’s developer and I happen to be running WPSC+AO as well.
 * Some questions;
    * is AO generating static files (default) or are you on dynamic(
   where AO generates PHP-files to serve the CSS/JS)? * what version version of 
   Apache are you running? * do you see an error in your Apache logs?

 * As quick solution, maybe just moving the Autoptimize directory out of reach of
   WPSC?
 * In wp-config, for example:
 *     ```
       define('AUTOPTIMIZE_CACHE_CHILD_DIR','/cache-autoptimize/');
       ```

 * I was able to fix this by adjusting the AllowOverride settings for the AO cache
   directory.
