.htaccess file uploaded, website won't load

[dwebb007]

I uploaded the .htaccess file with the below, and now my website won't load at all? Then I deleted the htaccess file and it still won't load?  But then it would load on my phone when I took it down, not on chrome, or explorer? Then I put it back up and looked again on my phone, wouldn't load on phone. Then deleted file and it still won't load on my phone? What is going on?

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^http://freightetc.com$
RewriteRule ^(.)$ http://www.freightetc.com/$1 [R=301]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^./index.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)index.php$ http://www.freightetc.com/$1 [R=301]

You were almost there buddy. It looks like you have regex characters that need to be escaped with . Plus, most seem to prefer rewriting index before messing with www.

Give this at try. I took a look at the site before the loop and it doesn't appear to use any CMS per se. If it were a WordPress site, you would want to place the code before the WordPress rewrites.

P.S. You don't need the last comment in the example.
