title: .htaccess file causing 500 internal server error
body: <p>My .htaccess file produces a 500 internal server error.
  File:</p>
  
  <pre><code>AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Fret Rolland"
  AuthUserFile /home/orbitppc/public_html/merch/.htpasswd
  Require valid-user
  
  SetEnv RUNTIME_ENVIRONMENT "production"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After some debugging I have concluded that the error is here <code>SetEnv RUNTIME_ENVIRONMENT "production"</code> I do not understand what I did wrong here and why is this causing an error. Any advice about what the issue might be? Thank you for all your help!</p>
