.htaccess question

[kwmlr439]

I was wondering if anyone could help me with my .htaccess file for my local host Example. There are some errors on here that are displayed in red when I use: /http://htaccess.domain.be/ to test my Example; here are some of the errors on those lines:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 	This variable is not supported: %{REQUEST_FILENAME}
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 	This variable is not supported: %{REQUEST_FILENAME}
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST 	This variable is not supported: %{REQUEST_METHOD}
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$ 	This variable is not supported: %{HTTP_USER_AGENT}

I have also tried to add expired headers to the .htaccess but GTMetrix failed to recognize it. I basically added every
expires headers module I could find on the internet at no avail. I have also changed the position where I add it as well but couldn't succeed.

Bellow is my .htaccess and any help is much appreciated.

Hello

Have you tried removing all of the existing rules, and adding one rule at a time to see which one it fails on? Note that you may find more help directly from the Mod_Rewrite forums:

Mod_Rewrite Forums

Thank you.

Yes I have trying what you suggested and it's not working Michael. Thank you for your response! I have also loooked at the forum you sent and I don't see a way to register. Very Weird!

It does appear those forums are no longer active. Thank you for pointing that out. As far as the rules, could you let us know the first rule it fails at when you try adding them in one by one?

Thank you.
