 * ncounter this error today when accessing my blog at work. So I contacted my host
   HelpDesk. They say, that the error my due to a Interference with an .htaccess
   file and suggested few things. Rename or delete the file so below is the actual
   file I have renamed.
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
        !=POST
       RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*=.*
       RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cookie} !^.*(comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_).*$
       RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} gzip
       RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html.gz -f
       RewriteRule ^(.*) /wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html.gz [L]
   
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*[^/]$
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*//.*$
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
       RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*=.*
       RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cookie} !^.*(comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_).*$
       RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html -f
       RewriteRule ^(.*) /wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WPSuperCache
   
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * So my intuition said, rather than rename it fixed it, that’s my problem. I researched
   it and the recommendation is to delete previous plug-in. In my case, its WPSuperCache
   that I had installed lately.
 * Since I not that familiar with this. I would like to seek assistance on this 
   one.

 * Did the problem go away once you renamed the .htaccess (which disables it)?
 * Your .htaccess looks like a mess with duplicated rewrite stuff, so starting over
   with a new one seems like a good idea. A new .htaccess should be generated if
   you save your custom permalinks settings in the dashboard and a file named .htaccess
   does not already exist.
