[fixed] Strange error with apache and htaccess

Hello

Im not sure if this is with last update of DA or not... but today when i add a new domain, then i add my normal htaccess file ... i get a apache internal error.

My htaccess is :
Code: 
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|cgi\-bin|robots\.txt|medias)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

I get no error if i dont combine the charset settings and the rewriteengine.
Not errors, but the rewrite is not working...

I use this one on many website ... always worked untill now and i dont think i have changed something that can mess with apache ...

This problem only occured on new accounts.
All old accounts are working fine.

In apache logs this is what i get :
[Tue Dec 06 17:46:05 2011] [alert] [client 78.225.243.125] /home/europe/domains/domain.com/public_html/.htaccess: AddDefaultCharset takes one argument, The name of the default charset to add to any Content-Type without one or 'Off' to disable
Click to expand...

Any ideas ?
Thank you for your help.

I can provide more information... :-)

Regards.

After doing some more checking : its the same on the second DA server we have.
 
Hello,

I doubt that would be related to the DA update...
If my reading of the message is correct, apache thinks that the AddDefaultCharset does not have 1 argument, but rather 0 or more than 1...
Check to make sure there are no extra spaces after the value.

I have not personally played with that option, but there might other solutions as well, if we can't figure out that one.

Hello

rewrite engine is not working also.

I tried on my 2 DA servers... exact same problems with NEW accounts.

Im not sure its related to DA last Update, but strange coincidence. :-)

Ill try and checkout the httpd conf files for the new domains and compare to old domains.

Best regards, and sorry for the time.
