htaccess error after wordpress multisite installation

My wesbite yofnel.com is view able when my htaccess is like this

# END WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

But if I remove

# END WordPress

It doesn't work anymore. And gives me this error

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Please help, I'm frustrated on setting up my multisite.

This is the error I found on error logs.

[Tue May 14 11:36:38 2013] [alert] [client 67.159.36.27] /home/yofnel/public_html/.htaccess: RewriteEngine must be On or Off

1)Add the code snippet to wp-config.php what they displayed in the box after the multisite creation.

2)Update the htaccess with the given code snippet.

3) Remove the # symbol from the starting of 'LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so' in the httpd.conf in the apache server config file save the file, restart the wamp server

Nvm the htaccess is working now.

I checked on cpanel file manager and see that the uploaded htaccess file is somewhat not arranged properly.

I used ftp to edit the htaccess and I saw this on cpanel

RewriteEngine OnRewriteBase /RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]# add a trailing slash to /wp-adminRewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -dRewriteRule ^ - [L]RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]RewriteRule . index.php [L]

So I just edited it with the proper line breaks.
