500 Internal Server error! HELP!

I'm trying to work in my local computer using WAMP Server.

OS: Windows 10

I tried doing the same thing in the video all is doing well until I added the ".htaccess": after I added that I tried to put "localhost:80/name/zeke" and web browser showed this message.

Internal Server Error

Please contact the server administrator at admin@example.com to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.

Hi Ezekiel dela Peña,

What is the contents of your .htaccess file as that is what's causing the error.

no the port was correct. It was set by default by the WAMP itself.

I've fixed the problem by configuring the C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\conf\httpd.conf and removing the # to uncomment the LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

I don't think your port is correct. Try removing :80 and trying again. I have not used WAMP, but I have not had to use the port in my programming. If no port does not work, make sure you have the right port number.
