    Surprisingly, now the server does not show an ERROR ?! (probably the
   hosting has overheated)…

 * Hello [@sergey2020](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sergey2020/)
    Thank you
   for the information. Possibly it was a server-side issue. This is about Apache
   content negotiation. A MultiViews search is where the server does an implicit
   filename pattern match, and choose from amongst the results.
 * For example, if you have a file called configuration.php (or other extensions)
   in the root folder and you set up a rule in your htaccess for a virtual folder
   called configuration/ then you’ll have a problem with your rule because the server
   will choose configuration.php automatically (if MultiViews is enabled, which 
   is the case most of the time).
    To prevent this `Options -MultiViews` is added
   to .htaccess file. Since the error is gone I’ll mark the topic as resolved. Thank
   you!
