Outlook, yes srv records


have been passed 24 hours, but why im getting that PHP error? for this task according to the documentation:

1. Lastly, we'll need to set up an .htaccess file so that any request to the autodiscover.dbsnetwork.net subdomain results in the autodiscover.php being called. In the subdomain's DocumentRoot, create the .htaccess with this code:

but why im getting that PHP error?

Because there is an error in the php script... Probably $matches is empty. If this is when you did a request in your browser it's normal the variable is empty because you're not posting any information on that manual request.

I was running into the same situation yesterday, also trying to get autodiscover working, and only got it to work after I started tinkering with with rules in the .htaccess file

It started working for me when I changed the fore-last line in the .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ autodiscover.php [NC,L]

When I changed
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
to
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC]

the last rule also kicked in, and it started working for me.
Now, I am not very proficient at .htaccess rules, but after reading up on this, I read somewhere that the 'L' in these rules was supposed to mean it was the last rule and things should stop with the 'L'.
Could be, could not be, I don't know. I only know for sure that it made the difference for me.
And it could make the differenence for others ..?
