    Hi, Thanks for the awesome plugin.

    Everything seemed to be going well until I enabled falcon engine.

    I followed the on-screen instructions and downloaded a copy of my htaccess. After enabling falcon, I was immediately presented with a 500 error on the entire domain.

    Faced with this issue, I pasted the contents of the downloaded file (given below) back into the htaccess but the problem seems to be persisting.

    Do you have any suggestions as to how I can get the site back up?

    Thanks

    Thanks Tim,

    I’m away from my machine at the minute but will try it over the weekend.

    Well, nothing like a stomach bug to throw a spanner in the works. I’ll be on this later today so I’ll update you afterwards.

    Thanks

    I have added the suggested code to the .htaccess but that hasn’t worked.

    I have checked the Apache error log and it says:

    /var/www/.htaccess: order not allowed here

    The url of the affected site is my murder mystery party by the way.

    You added it at the top before everything else?

    I did, I also tried it at the bottom just to be sure. I put it back after reading the note at the top of the linked content.

    Then for some reason Falcon doesn’t work with your configuration. For most users, this isn’t a problem. Just disable it and use another caching plugin if you wish.

    Unfortunately, The 500 error prevents me from disabling falcon from the admin area.

    Is there a (recommended/safe) way to do it from the command line?

    Thanks

    I got same issue, after add the codes in http://docs.wordfence.com/en/I_enabled_Falcon_Caching_and_my_site_errors_out._What_went_wrong%3F
    issue would be solved for temporary, and it would be 500 error again.
    So, I check the .htaccess, I found wordfence add some codes before all other codes, I deleted it and change the file access from 604 to 404 for prevent wordfence add codes in it again.

    And Falcon Engine works fine now, so maybe there’s some bug need to fix.

    QBD, try disabling wordfence by deleting folder name or changing folder name via FTP?

    This should bring your site back up. And might need to reinstall fresh copy of wordfence. Good luck!

    Sorry, just realised I didn’t give an update.

    Removal of the plugin directory and reverting the .htaccess has resolved the issue.

    I’ll experiment with re-installation as I get time to.

    Thanks for the help.

    Thanks for the update. Marking this as resolved.
