I read a lot of server error 500 questions related to the famous .htaccess file but I have still not found an answer to this error.

I have a folder which I used to test the .htaccess file.

=>http://localhost/xampp/example/

I copied the .htaccess in the example folder and I get server error 500

my .htaccess file contains this:

<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive on
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 days"
</IfModule>

I have changed my httpd.conf file:

all AllowOverrride None to AllowOverride All i have also uncommented this line:

LoadModule expires_module modules/mod_expires.so

error.log says: ExpiresActive not allowed here

I still get the error 500

What is actually happening? How can I resolve this error?

PS: i am running on localhost with XAMPP
