Hey, thanks for the reaction. I had a bit more time to play around with it today and I got it to work on my local machine (xampp on windows) with project_files above htdocs and the webroot files in htdocs/site/*files. I really like the setup, and it's great that it works!
So, with a bit of extra belief I just put it on the server, but alas, the server did the same thing it did before. Gave the rerouted first page fine (an under construction page via a controller with a specific layout and the right css) but as soon as /controller/action happened it gave a 500. Now, I'm positive it isn't the settings in index.php, as the relative setup is exactely the same on my local machine as on the server. The tmp directories etc. are all writable. So, the only thing I'm left with is mod_rewrite, right? But in phpinf() it says next to loaded modules: ...mod_rewrite ... I just don't understand what can be wrong, still!
