500 On Dynamic Pages

Question

I get a 500 Internal Server Error when trying to view pages I've set to publish dynamically.

Answer

The dynamic publishing feature creates an .htaccess file in your weblog directory; however, some hosts do not allow the use of these files, and you will see these errors as a result.

You should confirm with your host whether or not you are permitted to use .htaccess files on your account.
