I upgraded to the latest W3TC version and darn if the Auto Minify no longer works, saying maximum filename length too long. Never had any problem in previous version.
Anyway, no time for this. Previously, I used Better WordPress Minify to minify js, since minifying js in W3TC didn’t work too well with some plugins. I used W3TC to minify the css, and html.
Now, since it shows an error message, I just disabled W3TC Minify and let Better WordPress Minify handle both js and css minification. I then use WP-HTML-Compression to compress html.
Works great …
Unfortunately other plugins might minify without errors, which is great, but they don’t actually help your server scale any better. Anyone having issues should please submit a bug submission form from the support of the plugin so I can investigate.
As for MultiViews, you can speak to your host about removing this limitation.
I have the same issue. My host doesn’t allow MultiViews (one.com) so unless I manually comment out the line
#Options -MultiViews
from /wp-content/cache/minify/.htaccess
I get 500 internal server errors.
I’ve filed a bug report already.
Everything worked fine around 3-4 months ago when I last updated the site.

Thanks, your workaround worked for me also! I also had to set disk caching to basic.
I’m wondering, the hosting party I have to work with (my customer has his website hosted there) does not allow any kind of gzip or other compression. Is it possibly related to the issues with minify?
Does anyone know what the Options – MultiViews setting actually does?
