 * Hey there,
 * I hope you can help me out with this issue. I installed and activated BPS, but
   when using the setup wizard, my website does not display any more and shows an
   500 Internal Server Error.
 * I believe it has to do with the .htaccess. As it shows up again, when I delete
   the .htaccess, I think thats the correct place to look for.
 * Actually I always get this issue, when trying to Active the “Root Folder BulletProof
   Mode (RBM)”.

 * Ok that means that your particular web host is not allowing some particular htaccess
   code in the BPS root htaccess file. Go to this BPS troubleshooting page: [http://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/read-me-first-free/#bps-free-general-troubleshooting](http://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/read-me-first-free/#bps-free-general-troubleshooting),
   scroll down to: “500 Internal Server Error After Activating BulletProof Mode 
   for your Root Folder” and see if that solution fixes the problem.

 * Also check this problem cause|solution: “500 Internal Server Error After Adding
   New custom .htaccess Code To BPS Custom Code” is the reason for the 500 error.
   A third possibility would be that your current root htaccess file contains php/
   php.ini handler code in it. Are you using php/php.ini handler code? If so, then
   you would add your php/php.ini handler code to BPS Custom Code in this text box:
   CUSTOM CODE TOP PHP/PHP.INI HANDLER/CACHE CODE
