and here is my htaccess file Options All -Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

this should work but i do not understand why i'm getting 500 errors

Thank you for your help

Remove

Options +FollowSymLinks

from your .htaccess file and then add something like

<Directory /var/www/web1/web>
  Options +FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

to the Apache Directives field of web1 in ISPConfig.
