Subject: Dokuwiki doesn't work with .htaccess

Hi, I'm a newbie webmaster who recently tried setting up Dokuwiki on a remote FreeBSD webserver.

See, the installation of Dokuwiki went well. However, according to the Install page, I'd to modify php.ini to include a certain set of codes so the wiki could function quite well.

Well, my webhost doesn't allow access of php.ini, so I resorted to .htaccess. But now, the wiki doesn't work. "An error has occurred while handling your request. This error may be a result of a malfunctioning script or CGI application. Error 500 Internal Server Error (universe/.htaccess: php_flag takes two arguments, PHP Flag Modifier"

So I've tried commenting out certain lines, 1 at a time, in the .htaccess file like "RewriteEngine on" , "RewriteBase /universe": to see if I could try and figure out the issue. But I'm unable to cos I know very little about PHP and type of commands I can use in .htaccess. And those few lines weren't the cause anyways.

Anyone can give any tips on what's going wrong?

Thanks!

The error message states it quite clearly:

php_flag takes two arguments

There is one line that has more than two arguments:

php_flag error_reporting E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

Just change it to:

php_flag error_reporting 'E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE'

Did you have any problems before you added those lines to .htaccess? If no, there is normally no need to add them. (E.g. 'E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE' is the default value of error_reporting anyway.) If yes, you only need to add those lines that solve your problem.
