Htaccess rewrite url gives 500 Internal server error

I am getting 500 Error internal with following code : 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /get.php?action=$1 [L]

The rewrite module is Active , Safe mode is OFF and there is no problem,

I tested this code : 

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

But nothing changed.

What to do now ?

It looks to me the issue is that you're not setting any limits, so it loop's your redirect.

Here is an example that would stop since the file get.php exists.

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /get.php?action=$1 [L]

To further explain, what happens in your example is that it redirects to get.php over and over and over, because your rule tells anything not a / to internally redirect but not to stop if a file exits, and since get.php also falls under your regex expression, it would redirect again.

What the 2 conditions I have added does is, it tells it to stop if a file or folder exists.

If you're using HTTPD version 2.4+ you could have simple used the flag [END], like this:

RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /get.php?action=$1 [END]

Which tells the server to stop any further redirects.
